OK, then how do we explain the observations:

1) the site seems to be much more responsive with squid 2.5 stable 6
2) the site seems to be much more responsive if I add the IP addresses
for site servers into /etc/hosts.

I know the site is not the most speedy at the best of times, though it
can be surprisingly swift sometimes *but* there is a massive speed
difference going from one version of squid to the next and also by
effectively bypassing the DNS lookups. There is definitely something
fishy going on.
