What I can remeber there is problem that squid picks the number of "max open files" when compiled. So if your friend compiled squid as a normal user there might be a bottle neck. It might also be a DNS problem. Doing bad things with PF can be quite easy when you are new. And knowing thoose Linux dudes, maybe his Linux squid is a loadable kernel module so it will be uber fast, I mean crashing the machine instead of just squid is not really a problem now is it? And then ... And then ... I can think of alot of stuff. Do a proper search for the problem and we can try to help. Or just let him run Linux, it is what i he wants is it not?
