These numbers appear to indicate that Squid is nearly as fast as Apache serving up static content, which is pretty much exactly what I would expect. The very high 'max' field suggests that the total is being skewed by one very slow transaction, both for Apache (3 seconds) and then even more so for Squid (5 seconds)?
Apache only: . . . Connection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 2 42.4 2 3001 Processing: 2 10 2.0 11 71 Waiting: 0 2 1.0 2 65 Total: 3 13 42.4 13 3013

Squid with Apache:

If you're benchmarking apache vs squid for static content then you're going to lose out.
