[squid-users] scalabilty of squid?

[Masterson, Patrick]

We currently run 20K users a day on a Sun proxy. The machine is a Solaris 8  
3800 with 8 CPUs and 8 GBs of RAM. We have a 1000 Proxy processes running. 
Throughput is a little slow, and I'd sure like to know why. But, we are 
considering changing over to Squid, and wonder about the performance of Squid 
in this kind of environment. Can it perform well here? Have any of you done 
something similar?  -pat
