Just one more experience:

We have about 500 users here, yesterday's log says we had
exactly 222200 requests, and squid on a Pentium-I-166 with
128k RAM and 2G disk cache is still overkill for our 2Mbit
internet connection. I applied it, because it was there.
A few months ago it was an Pentium-I-90 with 64k RAM, and
it only started choking, when I gave it a list of unwanted
URLs of several 1000 in length. The linux-2.2.10 kernel I'm
using has no tunig applied.
