To sum up, I got the following tips and hints:

- Joe brought up the idea to use multiple Disks and Controllers instead of
one (I can´t change this right now, but maybe in the future)

- Jonathan suggested to add Memory, Memory and Memory (I will look at the
performance, and if I need more power it is a matter of hours to upgrade to
64 Meg)

- Change Blocksize to 1K (Many Thanks to Gunnar - several weeks ago I
thought about that for myself, but then I forgot to do it...)

- Russel suggested to divide the 4GB partition into several (maybe four)
subdirectories, trying to keep the "number of files per directory" small.
I´ll keep that in mind, hoping squid 1.1 will be available when the load
gets bigger...

And then I got several other hits on setting up the ports and Domain name
and other stuff.
Thanks a lot to you all!
