• Additional optimization for DiskD

• What is DiskD

  • DiskD is a feature new to Squid 2.4 it creates a child process for each cache filesystem in order to keep the Squid cache processes from blocking on writes.
  • In the 2nd NLANR cache bakeoff this resulted in a 4-fold improvement in the performance of the squid boxes on FreeBSD
