As for performance, all of the non-Windows systems run much faster than the Windows 2.7 version and have a much lower socket capacity. Due to technical issues - advanced socket APIs not being available or implemented for Windows. If you are after high performance and happy to change the server OS I suggest going for the non-Windows system of your choice. We (I) are working on restoring a Windows port for Squid-3 latest version(s). But without sponsorship the going is glacially slow and the last sponsor only got as far as having 3.3 running with a very specific build profile and major features disabled (eg win32 service support). If you are dedicated to Windows you could perhapse help sponsor further development improving the newer versions Windows support. Please contact be privately about that. But be aware up front that work has been very slow/tricky in places and we cannot provide a reliable timeline for working product. Cheers Amos
