We're not really interested in benchmarks in fact, but real-world
useage data. Those are much more valuable to system administrators in
defining what they need to address a real-world situation. There are
projects underway to help with this efforts.
See for instance
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/BenchmarkCacheMgrPage and
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/PerformanceMeasure .
Any contribution in terms of ideas, requirements, wishes, and of
course code, is welcome.
