Well, Squid is going to be slower then some of the commercial proxies, but you should be able to obtain at least 500 req/sec on decent hardware + disks on polymix-4. http://www.cacheboy.net/benchmarks.html I say 'at least' because thats what I've benchmarked Squid-2 / Cacheboy at thus far. It looks like it'll go further but I don't have enough polygraph boxes yet to run the tests at a higher throughput. I don't see why I couldn't get to about 800 req/sec on my test hardware given enough polygraph boxes and using COSS instead of AUFS. At that point though I'll run out of steam on one of the Xeon cores. It should go much faster than 500 req/sec if you're not using disks. Again, I just don't have enough polygraph boxes yet to run the tests and polygraph still uses poll/select limiting its throughput on current hardware. :/ Adrian
