It surely depends on which kind of objects are stored. Assume that half
of the objects are cached but each one is just 100 bytes. Then you would
have 50% cache hit ratio but perhaps only 0.0001% byte hit ratio.

Not every object is cachable. Just use a large disk and if you have
multiple proxys then establish a sibling relationship between them.
There's not much else you can do. "Tweaking" refresh times surely breaks
more applications than it helps you.

And if you want to save 95% bandwidth: block porn sites. ;)
