Double certainly, tripling probably depends on traffic patterns. On our
systems (PIII-1000, 1.5GB RAM, 7x18GB 10krpm U160 drives), I've pushed 10
million requests and 60GB per day through them at peak request rates of
around 220/sec, though this was close to the limit. I suspect we might do
a little better if most requests were not sent to a parent cache, and that
our newer systems with faster CPU, 15krpm disk and more RAM could do a
little better. I believe around 300 requests/sec is about the fastest any
single instance of a stable squid release has been pushed.
