Good Grief, a proxy that compresses amd decompresses!!! Well if you ever wanted to get something to give you an overhead on memory and Processor, thats got to be it. A properly configured squid system is the best way to go, have a look at setting the amount of threads it uses, for a single user machine it shouldnt need to be many. As for the updates, is it necessary to have THE latestversion of everything that is there.
