Hello All,

I have tried to benchmark Squid on EM64T (Extended Memory 64 bit technology).

System Details
==========
System Model - 2.6.5-1.358smp x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Processor Model - model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz X 2 processors
Memory - 256 MB

Processor Activity with vmstat

 I have found problem because of CPU as,

    1) Proxy Server is working fine during Warm, Inc phase with the CPU usage 50% to 75%. During top phase cpu usage is reduced to
3.4% - 5% so that benchmarking getting problem on 500 clients itself. System error message log /var/log/messages did not have any
messages for the problem.

Is there any way to detect the functionality issues of a processor which causes problem for benchmarking?

Plz. share your knowledge on getting problem because of CPU.

Thanks,
