You seem to have answered your own question. Sending stuff to that ICAP
server is very slow.

Other things to consder:
  * Did the packets actually stop completely at that point? or did
something else happen?
  * look at DNS etc as well. Squid may be waiting on the ICAP server
name to resolve.
  * take a full packet traces (tcpdump -s 0 ...) and see what is
actually being transfered to/from ICAP. It could be non-HTTP, broken
syntax, or any kind of secondary encoding inside a HTTPS security channel.
