What offtopic?
the only problem i can thing of is cpu and process management on this
server.
icap is a nice idea and i can recommend one
http://greasyspoon.sourceforge.net/
you must know basic programming to make it work and they have rules samples.
if your hardware capabilities are low you will get most likely poor
results on both privoxy and ICAP.
also i will send later the settings for working with greasyspoon on
squid 3.2

another question.
are you by any change made a speedtest on the current setup?
if you do get the right speed but wrong speed to get the page processed
it's a known side effect of privoxy.
