This very much depends on
   - the hardware where Suqid runs
   - the type of clients you have
   - configuration

Reasonable values range from 80-250 request/second for Internet proxying.

A single fast cpu, plenty of memory, and several harddrives (at least 3
for cache).

Relatively large in such case.
