Hm.

You don't need 1200mb worth of cache_mem. Drop it to something like 64mb
and see if you're being hit with lots of messages in your store_log.

Have you tried a 2.6 kernel?

Up this to 65000.

You should also set the high/low port threshold so squid is able to grab a
port for its outgoing connections.

Well, I'm able to push around 2/3 that on 2.5+coss on a linux-2.6 kernel
running on my 2.4ghz/1gb RAM test machine.

I'm having issues with squid-3 and insane memory usage on my machine.
I'll be posting my points to squid-dev when I resume my testing in
a couple of days.
