You're taking this wrong... just install the ASG software on your hardware with the NOSMP option (the first screen you see after you boot off the install CD says how to do this). If you are looking at an appliance (if it's one of the bigger ones with hyperthreading), it will already be setup this way. It works just fine without SMP enabled, and the bigger units can handle a LOT of requests. Memory is a key here, we use 512 as a minimum, with 1GB becoming more of a norm lately. Trust me, it works great.

Am I right (at least according to the squid-cache.org site) that Squid still does not take advantage of SMP? It sounds like the stability issue is resolved, but Squid doesn't take advantage of multiple processors yet, does it?Squid itself is a single-threaded process, though depending on the disk-backend you use it can utililize dedicated processes for processing IO (specifically the diskd backend).
