Squid performance varies a lot depending on your hardware and deployment scenario. Some Squids can do thousands of transactions per second (hundreds of Mbits/sec). Others do hundreds of transactions per second (tens of Mbits/sec). Yet others crawl at tens of transactions per second due to slow disk caching or other reasons. Lower numbers are more typical. If you can provide specifics, somebody on the list may be able to post numbers from a similar environment. You can also benchmark a Squid prototype to get an estimate of its performance on a given hardware, for a given configuration. Alex.
