Not exaclty. All IMS hits (mostly 304 and 200 replies) require at least one
disk I/O to read HTTP headers from disk. 200 IMS hits actually fetch the
whole object from disk (Squid still considers it a "hit" since nothing was
fetched over the outbound network).
There are so called "memory hits" when no disk I/O has been made. However,
Squid does not tag memory hits for non-internal objects.
Some negative hits and non-cachable misses may not require a disk I/O, but,
again, it is hard to isolate those cases using just "fgrep" and "access.log".
