[squid-users] Can squid support huge website ?

Dear sir/madam

I am a software programmer and website administrator working in one of the
biggest websites in China. The page view of my company's website is top 10
in china and top 150 in the world. Therefore, I want to use the squid as a
reverse proxy server to reduce the load of the webservers in my company's
website.

But when I use the squid , I found that the squid is very slow !! It is
slower even then using apache directly. So I want to know if the squid just
can use in the small website? And it can't support more then 1500
connections at the same time ? Or maybe I didn't do a corrent
configuration.

this is my squid.conf and squid installed in red hat linux 6.2:
#visible name
visible_hostname 61.144.56.59
memory_replacement_policy heap LFUDA
cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA
# cache config: space use 10G and memory use 2048M
