[squid-users] comments on these statistics

Hi all
sorry to bother once again

i hv the foll cachemgr stats from 5 min utilization

client_http.requests = 26.398032/sec
client_http.hits = 9.228986/sec
client_http.errors = 0.000000/sec
client_http.kbytes_in = 11.037481/sec
client_http.kbytes_out = 118.344849/sec

server.all.kbytes_in = 101.039250/sec
server.all.kbytes_out = 10.301427/sec
server.http.requests = 18.484617/sec
page_faults = 0.106578/sec
select_loops = 160.323248/sec
select_fds = 223.777110/sec
average_select_fd_period = 0.003854/fd

syscalls.polls = 179.470648/sec
syscalls.disk.opens = 0.113239/sec
syscalls.disk.closes = 0.113239/sec
syscalls.disk.reads = 0.000000/sec
syscalls.disk.writes = 19.813512/sec

cpu_time = 202.960000 seconds
wall_time = 300.249655 seconds
cpu_usage = 67.597080%
 what's worrying me is the cpu usage abt 67 %
isnt it too hight for 27 req/sec

top says
CPU states: 18.8% user, 22.8% system, 0.0% nice, 58.2% idle

 PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
 4660 nobody 14 0 193M 193M 1408 R 0 79.0 38.3 1347m squid

squid has **not** been compiled with time-hack option
yes Heap replacement has been enabled
machine spec is compaq proliant 5500 with dual P3 xeon , 512 MB RAM, 6 ultra
2scsi disks of 9 GB each
the machine has not gone into swapping at all

TIA
Khiz
