First of all your settings seem to be way over the top. There is no reason
to set tcp_conn_req_max_q and tcp_conn_req_max_q0 to such high values.
q0 just contains connects that are still in the phase of the 3WHS, q
contains those that have finished 3WHS but are not accepted by an
application yet. After a connection is accepted by an application it has
no effect on either of those queu's. Especially in q there is no way you
could ever have 16000 connections waiting, if you have you're screwed
anyway. For the FD's you're way over the top too, if the thing has need
for over 4000 FD's there's something wrong.

What you might consider is "upgrading" to linux 2.2 depending on what you
else you want to do on the machine (not much I hope cause you better run a
squid dedicated). On a Dual PII 400 512MB RAM I can get upto 130 req/sec
sustained.
