Good memory. Slightly slow CPUs by today standards.

What about disks? One single cache drive, or multiple?

16M is fine.

Looks good.

Not good if you can get diskd or aufs running..

then it probably haven't cached much yet.

Only if you find that Squid uses a whole lot more memory than it should,
which does not seem to be the case here..

How much traffic are you trying to push via this Squid?

What does system accouting report about disk and cpu usage? (sar is your
friend, see the Solaris administration manuals on how to set up sar
accounting if you have not done so already)
