Umm. Squid does a LOT of different things. One of the things squid
does a lot of is uncacheable data (i.e. it has some authentication
method, or cookiefied or whatever). Such data never goes to disk, and
(after the headers) isn't looked at by squid. Such transfers make up
nearly 40% of all bytes passed by squid.
