[squid-users] increasing byte hit ratios

i got these info from cache manager :

        Average HTTP requests per minute since start: 6584.0

        Request Hit Ratios: 5min: 29.1%, 60min: 28.2%
        Byte Hit Ratios: 5min: 2.9%, 60min: 5.3%
        Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 37.7%, 60min: 34.4%
        Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 19.8%, 60min: 19.9%

is it correct when i say that my squid-cache safe around 6% of my internet
bandwidth?? is there a way to increase the byte hit ratios ??

my configuration is :

- cache_mem 1024 MB
- maximum_object_size 65536 KB
- cache_replacement_policy heap LFUDA
- memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF
- cache_dir aufs /cache1 1500 16 256
- cache_dir aufs /cache3 1500 16 256
- cache_dir aufs /cache4 1500 16 256
- cache_dir aufs /cache5 1500 16 256

I'm using an Intel Xeon 3.06GHz with 3 GB of memory, all disks are SCSI. The
server is dedicated fully for the squid cache.

The OS is linux-2.6.15.6, using squid-2.5 STABLE 13

Thanks before
