Not too interesting then for being a Squid measurement ;-)

To make a Squid test interesting you need to at least

* Have a fairly large cache already built up. How things behave while
the cache is filling up is not that interesting as it is not the normal
mode of operation.

* Have it running for an extended period of time. At least 30 minutes of
a steady request rate before your measurements begin.

Otherwise it is quite easy to fool oneself with a unrealistic peak
measurement which does not hold out in real life use.
