I worked fairly extensively with squid just as an http-accelerator a few
years back. What we found helped TREMENDOUSLY was to use ReiserFS. We
actually got in touch with Hans and had him can some of the journal
logging to speed it up even more so, but just going with ReiserFS over
ext2 (and I presume ext3 since it's not all that different) was a huge
benefit.
Regardless, for an office of 20-50 users squid will be fine, presuming you
give it enough memory and disk (definitely go SCSI).
