It's also worth remembering that a large number of users on slow
connections can tie up a lot more resources within a process per
connection web server than within Squid. Squid 2 doesn't work brilliantly
with large numbers of connections but it can slowly dribble data out to
clients more efficiently than Apache can - especially if your httpds
memory requirements are swollen with lots of mod_perl code (mine have
virtual sizes of about 40MB).
