The above summary is inaccurate, IMO. Currently, Squid3 is better for
some production environments and Squid2 is better for some other
production environments. If you need ICAP/eCAP, SSL Bump, IPv6, or other
new features, try Squid3. If you do not need those features, there is no
pressure and you can benefit from Squid2 proven stability and recent
improvements that have not been ported to Squid3 yet.

HTH,
