Hmm,

depends on the sites! when you have sites which are more locally to you
than to the parents/neighbors of your squid, access through squid slows
down the connection.
e.g. We're situated in Salzburg/Austria. the next parents are in Vienna,
which is appr. 300 km away. I can access our local newspaper direct over
our internal 10-mbit network - very fast. When I (would) access it through
squid, my squid would contact the parents in Vienna (only 512 kbit), these
parents would contact the next ... until finally one squid fetches the
pages from a host which is only 300 m awy from me.

===> use TAG: hierarchy_stoplist

enter all domains etc. which are better contacted direct.
Us traceroute to see where webserver are situated.
