[squid-users] Heavy load

Hi all,
I'm running squid2.4S1 on a redhat 7.0 OS. As you see in the
'top-snapshot' the machine is running under heavy load. Squid makes
about 50-100 Req/sec.
Unfortunately, I can't find out any reason for this behaviour, there is
only squid with 16 diskd and named running.
Do you have any help?
