What speed is the 5?? 70? 85? 110? 170?

Slowaris may be to blame, how fast are your drives? do you run the drives
on a different SCSI controller or just on the built-in controller? Also
ram looks rather small. For Solaris in this application I'd say 256M is
the smallest

Have you considered running a faster OS? like NetBSD or OpenBSD?

On a microsparc II ? We have run about 1/2 a T3 worth of users through a
Sparc20, SM71, NetBSD, 256Megs Ram, dual 9gig's, separate SCSI ctrl's..
that was Squid 1.21 though.. Performance was VERY good.

Good Luck!
