- From my experience it also depends on if you try to cache or not.
If you have a spinning disk and you try to cache into disk and not
only into ram you will have a bottle neck from the HDD.

If you will use only RAM cache a restart will cause to loss the cache.

If you will use squid without access logs it will help the overall speed.

If you will use squid with no access logs and disk cache and only use
it as a simple forward proxy the the server will be only a simple ACL
proxy and will be very fast.
