As has been reported in some other messages on this list, Linux is currently
blowing FreeBSD away. It's taking as much as 20% less time to get through
the benchmark, depending on exactly how the random shuffle came out. This is
with 4 GB RAM, the GENERIC FreeBSD SMP kernel (using SCHED_ULE), and aufs as
the storage schema for Squid.

Apples and Oranges, I know, but if you're building a "simple" reverse
cacheing proxy, have you considered Varnish? Would be very interessting
how it would compare to a) FreeBSD+Squid b) Linux+Squid and c)
Linux+Varnish.
