It's ok, and the fact will be highlighted when publishing the results.
It is however common practice of all commercial vendors to use
pure-lab-environment numbers when pitching their offers, and I find it
only fair that we match that with numbers of our own. Also, it'll be a
nice ego-boost for all the Squid community to be able to claim
impressive numbers - hell, your numbers are impressive already..
Notice: if you implement multi-instance squid, an added boost might
come from tying each instance to a specific CPU core (on Linux it's
done via the taskset command)
