Hm, I think I read that squid can give you a max. of about 300
reqs/sec.
As stated before on the list squid on itself can not make
use of more then one cpu.

So I think in a virtual server setup, you may be better off with 4
separate boxes (probably), I think it would give you more
flexibility and squid service uptime, if one box is down,
for instance.
