Squid-2.6 with /dev/poll support (available in Solaris 7 and later)
dramatically improves network performance by lowering the CPU requirements.

I've been meaning to do it for years but I only (finally!) committed
some code a few months ago.

All someone has to do now is compile it with --enable-dev-poll under Solaris
and check the CPU use.

http://squidproxy.wordpress.com/ has my announcement of /dev/poll support
in squid-2 and squid-2.6.
