Nope, not really. Though if you had a really big link in both directions,
I suppose you could. At the inaugural UWA meeting, Mike O'Reilly told us 
his squid had finally become CPU-bound when he added his 80th Gig or 
something. And that's doing a hell of a lot of software RAID as well, IIRC.

In short, RAM size is by far the biggest factor on all but the biggest of
squids (see earlier thread on this topic).
