Should still happen in the same manner as without a proxy, but keep in
mind that at least Netscape 4.x is very poor at doing what you describe
if the site uses tables.. often waiting until the whole page is
downloaded before displaying anything (proxy does not matter).
If your are using IE or another browser that is good at rendering pages
while they are being downloaded and feel that Squid disturbs this then I
can only think of two things
a) Maybe your Squid is performing really badly, probably swapping a lot
all the time.. Use system monitoring tools lime
vmstat/iostat/sar/free/top to get a feeling of how your system behaves.
or
b) The browser being used do not agree with Squid on the use of
persistent connections. Try if "client_persistent_connections off" in
squid.conf makes any difference and report back here..
