Yes.

Some quick stats: daily access.log ~100MB after gzip -9 (no ICP
requests), much less hardware (1 Alpha CPU, 1 x 9GB / 7200rpm logs+OS
drive, 3 x 9GB/10000rpm cache drives, 512MB), differnt OS (Linux
2.2.something), about the same Squid version plus/minus a few lines.
Requests/minute during working hours: ~9000. Those boxes was a bit short
on cache (20GB, only about 2.5 days). No longer responsible for
maintaining them after a switch of jobs, but I my goal is to build much
more efficient systems as I don't think the cost/performance ratio of
those systems was very great.
