You used a delay pool when you should not have.

-1 across the board is effectively "don't delay". The default behaviour
for any request is to uhm, not delay. So by configuring such a pool all
you are doing is adding a fairly large amount of overheads to Squid
processing of *every TCP packet* - in order to do nothing. The latency
added by delay pools is ony worthwhile when there is actually a traffic
speed limit being applied that can absorb the delay pool overhead lag.

Instead of the above, you need to *omit* (deny) traffic matching the
Senior ACL from using any other delay pools you have created.
