  Of course it is.

Cache in KAIST, ~700 IP addresses and 2 neighbor caches,
200,000 requests/day, 3GB/day, 13000-14000 requests/hour in peak time,
average access time when hit occurs : 1 - 2 sec/requests

Pentium 166MHz with 128MB RAM, 8GB HDD, Linux 2.0.7 box.
When we tested with 64MB RAM before, average access time was
7 - 10 sec/requests. It works fine after upgrading memory to 128MB.
