OK - then let's start collecting some numbers with more recent hardware:

we have a Squid 3 stable 5 on a opensuse 10.3 running on following
system for about 100 users
with adequate response times:
IBM xSeries 3250 M2
1x Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4 Ghz/800 MHz (2 MB L2 cache)
3 GB PC2-5300 CL5 ECC DDR2 SDRAM DIMM
2x 250 GB SATA hard drive as a mirror configuration

This system is doing virus-scanning with ICAP-enabled Squid through KAV 5.5
Kaspersky AntiVirus for Internet Gateways
AND it is doing web-content filtering with SquidGuard 1.3
AND it is doing NTLM AUTH against the internal W2k3-ADS-domain

Best regards,
