Max clients 1.1 can support efficiently

Netscape's FAQ regarding their proxy server recommends one proxy server
for every 100-500 clients, or, for an ISP, one proxy server for every
POP (Point-Of-Presence).

This is mentioned in:
<http://home.netscape.com/comprod/server_central/support/faq/proxy_faq.html>

I realize Squid is (supposably) faster than Netscape's Proxy (and orders
of magnitude faster than CERN's), but does anybody have a figure as to
what the upper limit (in clients) is for Squid for acceptable
performance?
