Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Benchmarks , or
browse through the squid-users mailing list
In general, your setup should be able to sustain several hundred
requests per second.

> 2.  What is the maximum number of clients that each box can support???

Virtually unlimited, given the limitation above. It really depends on
what those clients are doing.

> 3.  is there any data in squid that is able to tell how much time squid need to process each request passing thru it???

Yes. Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CacheManager
