You have 10Mbit to the outside world, or is this just your LAN?

This should not be slow.

I have 2.5GB of cache on an SS5 and generally keep squid at around 32MB,
and it has 9 redirectors running ad-zapper.  Seems plenty fast.

I only have a modem connection, but the same machine has handled a cable
connection with 3 users and 2 machines without a problem.

I used an old Pentium system to squid for an office of 75 people a
couple of years ago.
