I have found that Squid only has 16384 file descriptors available (despite ulimit, etc. seems to be config properly). Squid was installed via yum (squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5) and it seems that it has this config --with-maxfd=16384 so max_filedesc setting is probably being useless. I will rebuild squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5.src.rpm without --with-maxfd setting and see if it works
Since you are interested in performance I really suggest test driving Squid 3.2 or 3.3. Either of them is a good 100 req/sec faster than 2.6 was on our slow test machinery, and they also gain performance from HTTP/1.1 bandwidth savings beyond the raw CPU processing gains in the code.
