[squid-users] My squid is slower than apache

I use apache 2.0.59 and squid 2.6.STABLE13, and test with apache's ab command:
ab -n 100000 -c 50 http://***/header.jpg
When use apache only, the result is:
--------------------
Concurrency Level: 50
Time taken for tests: 2.805669 seconds
Complete requests: 10000
Failed requests: 0
Write errors: 0
Total transferred: 325499626 bytes
HTML transferred: 321909602 bytes
Requests per second: 3564.21 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 14.028 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 0.281 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 113295.61 [Kbytes/sec] received
-------------------------
When use squid with apache, test result is:
-------------------------
Concurrency Level: 50
Time taken for tests: 3.739039 seconds
Complete requests: 10000
Failed requests: 0
Write errors: 0
Total transferred: 326745046 bytes
HTML transferred: 322174102 bytes
Requests per second: 2674.48 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 18.695 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 0.374 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 85339.04 [Kbytes/sec] received
------------------------------
So my question is: why squid is slower than apache? Thanks.
