Thanks Amos. The links were very insightful.
However, the 2500req/sec that ShuXin Zheng mentioned (and later achieved
3500req/sec) was in a reverse proxy scenario. Is that also the expected
limit for a regular forward proxy?
I am also using regular commodity 4 x SATA 3.0 Gbps HDDs, compared to SCSI
by ShuXin. Given the speeds SATA can achieve these days, is there any
thumbrule between comparing them?

Where could I find the "theoretical limits" publised by Adrian for 2.7?

Somewhere in squid-dev over the late 2007- early 2008 he pushed a graph
out comparing cacheboy and Squid-2.7 and Squid-2.HEAD.
All I can find right now is this thread:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200701/0077.html
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200701/0083.html
And some old graphs on his cacheboy site:
http://www.cacheboy.net/polygraph/cacheboy_1.4.pre3_test2/one-page.html
looks like he has scraped out another 50rps since the early reports.
One indicates squid is capable of ~500 RPS on regular home hardware. And
the other that a very old version was capable of >3500 RPS on high-end
hardware in 2006.
