   With Squid, we're now running close to maximum system load on the
   Sparc 20 at about 250.000 requests per day. With more memory
   (256MB) and the full 8GB of cache plus full if-modified-since
   updating, I'm hoping that we'll be comfortable with Squid on that
   machine for another couple of months, up to 400.000 rpd, say.

Our proxy load is highest during the work day so we're more interested
in how many requests we can process per hour than per day.

For example, on one of our servers, a Sparc Ultra 1 with only 64 Meg
of RAM, we process nearly 400K requests per day. This averages out to
around 16K requests per hour, but during the day we see peaks of over
35K requests per hour.

I'd be curious to hear any other squid performance stats people may
have. I'd be particularly interested to hear any comparison between
the squid proxy and the Netscape proxy. I haven't evaluated it myself
but was hoping someone else has.
