Nothing is broken in Squid.

Squid is a very solid caching proxy. It's design has some performance
limitations due to it's original purpose (a portable, research focused,
web cache), but some very smart people are working on moving past that.
  I won't claim to be one of those smart people--but Henrik, and Adrian,
and Robert, and a few others certainly are. They know how to do it, and
the techniques for doing it have come a long way since Squid was
originally designed...but these things take time.

Besides, Squid is faster than Apache and most other web servers...do you
consider those 'broken'? Of course not. It's just scalability issues,
that are being addressed.
