How large is your cache?

How many users are going via Squid?

How long have they been using it (how long has Squid been building up its
cache)?

How many connection requests do you have per minute/hour/day/whatever makes
sense?

How many cache HITs do you see in the log file compared to MISSes (ie: how
often are cached objects being requested)?

Any other relevant information you can supply might be helpful in providing an
answer.
