hmm, this doesn't answer your question specifically but i've pushed
150mbit/sec with a single node squid2.6 reverse proxy using 5.2gb of
memory-only cache. the requests were all for images about 20kb on
average, sorry i'm too lazy to do the math. the server didn't break a
sweat, cpu was idle at 98% and the only IO was logging. with bigger
traffic it started to swap but this was likely a hardware/kernel
limitation, not squid.

dual core intel 2.4ghz
8gb ram
single onboard intel nic
