But if you have low internet out. you have to need more effective usage it
to increase speed and performance. So I think your proxy machine has to be
better hardware configuration than 486 with 32 MB.

I think you should increase cache_dir to ~14 GB. Each cache_dir may be on
different partition. About Asnc-io, if your using squid will be high load.
Using async-io may be better.

such machine for such a slow link?

486 with 32MB RAM should be completely enough
