No.

The OS already have them cached in the disk cache providing relatively
fast access (but indeed not as fast as if it was in the Squid cache_mem),
so this hasn't been given a high priority to implement. For normal
Internet proxies this isn't very important, but in accelerator setups it
may become a noticeable bottleneck.

It is planned to implement a real RAM based cache in Squid, it just isn't
really there yet.
