At the risk of having not read the thread, I'll answer whay you might
want a squid cache for...

Squid caches outbound requests essentially mirroring web sites which
do not request documents not be cached.  Depending upon how it is
configured it can cash many other protocols as well.

A well configures suid box can *substantially* reduce bandwidth
requirements on your pipe to the internet.  A cache hit ratio around
40 percent is not all that unusual (if I remember correctly) and
when you have a large number of users on the same pipe that can be
quite a bit.
