hi ccc,
IMHO - if we are talking about stability - we are not just talking about the application itself, especially networking applications. probably a comparison of 60-65% hardware performance and 40-35% the application itself.
the application (such as squid) representing software features - its ability to do certain functions - its tunable parameters, but will not meet againts hardware quality/capacity.
if you already satisfied with squid 2.6 (its features met your requirements) performance - i think that will be enough. otherwise, feel free to upgrade
just my opinion,
HTH.

squid_session(8) System Manager's Manual squid_session(8) NAME
squid_session - Squid session tracking external acl group helper SYNOPSIS
squid_session [-t idle_timeout] [-b dbpath] [-a] DESCRIPTION
This helper maintains a concept of sessions by monitoring requests and timing out sessions if no requests have been seen for the idle time- out timer. Intended use is for displaying "terms of use" pages, ad popups etc. -t idletimeout (default 3600) Specifies the session idle timeout timer. -b dbpath Path to persistent database. If not specified the session details will be kept in memory only and all sessions will reset each time Squid restarts it's helpers (Squid restart or rotation of logs). -a Active mode. In this mode sessions are started by evaluating an acl with the argument LOGIN, or terminated by the argument LOGOUT. Without this flag the helper automatically starts the session after the first request. EXAMPLE
Configuration example using the default automatic mode external_acl_type session ttl=300 negative_ttl=0 children=1 concurrency=200 %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_session acl session external session http_access deny !session deny_info http://your.server/bannerpage?url=%s session Then set up http://your.server/bannerpage to display a session startup page and then redirect the user back to the requested URL given in the url query parameter.
