What response times are you seeing? If your response time is X sec and
you are doing Y req/sec, then your OS will have to handle at least:
        (X+60)*Y
concurrent connections in various states. Squid will have to deal with
(X*Y) connections. You probably should add about 10-20% for workload
peaks.

From my experience, things get exponentially worse on a FreeBSD with
number of connections beyond ~2-3K. Do not know if that is true for
Linux.
