Perhaps your test setup is to blame. Make sure you are using thousands
of best-effort clients or no best-effort clients at all.

[ A best-effort client is a client that submits next request only
after receiving the previous response, making throughput dependent on
response time and results misleading. This is not specific to any
benchmark. ]

Alex.

P.S. You can get ~96Mbps in one direction and ~86Mbps in both
     direction on a 100Mbit full-duplex link. Whether you can approach
     those limits with Squid, depends on your hardware and
     configuration.
