This depends on a large number of factors, but there's no reason why you
could not get several hundred requests per second, if not several
thousand requests per second being handled. See:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200212/0119.html
which details 2833 requests per second.

Note that to get anything close to this figure you will most likely need
to tune the squid config, your system maximum complete/incomplete tcp
connections and use one of the more efficient polling mechanisms like
epoll/kqueue.
