The known configurations which can easily push Squid to CPU bound limits
is

a) reverse proxy setups with a reasonably small but very frequently
accessed set of objects.

b) reverse proxy acting as an SSL frontend.

c) forward proxies without any cache.

It's quite hard to push a caching forward proxy to the CPU limit. You
usually run into other limits first..
