[squid-users] Benchmark performance of Squid Version 2.7 Stable 4

Hi,
 
Currently I am running Squid Version 2.7 Stable 4 on 2 different Linux ES3 box. The specification of the boxes are 2 x Intel Xeon 2.6GHHz CPU and 2.5GB RAM as well as 2 x Xeon 3.6GHz with 2GB RAM.
 
Basically there is no caching configured on the squid apps and it is being used like a middle man between client and web/apps servers which has both http and https transaction.
 
Kindly advise the following:
 
1. What is the maximum number of requests that each box can serve or is there any documentation or calculation that can derived the figures???

2. What is the maximum number of clients that each box can support???

3. is there any data in squid that is able to tell how much time squid need to process each request passing thru it???

Regards.
