Hi,
Currently I am running Squid Version 2.7 Stable 4 on 2 different
Linux ES3 box. The specification of the boxes are 2 x Intel Xeon
2.6GHHz CPU and 2.5GB RAM as well as 2 x Xeon 3.6GHz with 2GB RAM.
Basically there is no caching configured on the squid apps and it is
being used like a middle man between client and web/apps servers
which has both http and https transaction.
Kindly advise the following:
Best thing to do is plug them in and run some benchmark software yourself.
Sadly few do this, and even fewer tell the rest of us what they see.

1. What is the maximum number of requests that each box can serve or
is there any documentation or calculation that can derived the
figures???
Depends on your configuration AND your users behaviour. See (3)
Reports indicate something between 700 and 2,500 requests per second for
single dual-core box.
2. What is the maximum number of clients that each box can
support???
Ranges from infinite to one. Depending on your users desire.
3. is there any data in squid that is able to tell how much time
squid need to process each request passing thru it???
No. Depends on your configuration.
Lab tests produce numbers ranging from 3 requests per second to 300,000+
requests per second, by simply varying the cacheability and size of test
object fetched.
