What speed is the 5??  70? 85? 110? 170?

Slowaris may be to blame, how fast are your drives? do you run the drives
on a different SCSI controller or just on the built-in controller?  Also
ram looks rather small.  For Solaris in this application I'd say 256M is
the smallest

Have you considered running a faster OS?  like NetBSD or OpenBSD?

On a microsparc II ?  We have run about 1/2 a T3 worth of users through a
Sparc20, SM71, NetBSD, 256Megs Ram, dual 9gig's, separate SCSI ctrl's..
that was Squid 1.21 though..  Performance was VERY good.

Good Luck!
