The buffer bloat description should explain it a bit better than I can.
Essentially there is no reason why ping should be affected so badly by
Squid (or any other program) moving TCP packets. Regardless of the
number of users or network size. But due to buffer and queue problems,
it often does.

Hmm. IIRC there was some problem found a year ago with virtual machines.
We narrowed it down to something inside the image. Newely created VM had
no issues but cloned ones (even cloned from a fresh new image) would go
very slow under load for no identifiable reason. Your issue might be that.
