We're running Squid on Solaris x86 2.6 on PII-333, 384MB RAM, 80MB mem_cache
and 16GB caches. And running RAID0 by software using DiskSuite4.1.
We are eager to try 2.7 as the new filesystem option to do no accesstime
updates on files can be another major performance booster.
I have a 28ms median hit service time. :)

I doubt you can find a better OS than Solaris to run a squid cache.
Maybe, maybe, BSD and I still need to benchmark it to clear the myth.
The TCP stack is very good and very tunable. We got a significant
performance increase after tuning tcp_slow_start and tcp_mss_def
parameters. We gained some 10ms per TCP connection time after the tuneup.
We still have to test SPARC hardware. We're going to buy a AXi
motherboard and give it a try.
