Suggestions from me:
if you are using squidguard i'm for replacing it with external acl
helper with concurrency to make it more efficient and use DENY_INFO with
arguments to make it all work.

What lists are you using with squidguard?
I wrote something that suppose to be external acl for squidguard domains
black lists.

core I3 with 4GB ram should be more then you need.
and try to use squid 3.2.1 that is the last stable version.
5.8 has 3.1.X version which is the older one.
