But since, i had heard that Squid 2.6 version had better performance
than Squid 3.0, i would like to try that also as a backup.
Squid 3 is enough fast for most cases. You will not see any difference in
performance unless you have a very-very busy proxy server.
I can confirm that. We switched from 2.6 -> 3.0 with no hassle (at 100
requests/s)
I had Adrian benchmark 3.x recently. With his specific RAM-pathways test.
The cutoff for speed seems to be Squid3 reaching 500-650 req/sec and
Squid 2.6 going past that into the 800-900 req/sec ranges. At a few
hundred concurrent requests.
