What version of Squid is this?

Stuff I can think of right now are:
  IIRC there were some oddities possible when Squid had zero or very few
traffic events happening (older Squid rely on an IO event to trigger any
other processing).

 I've also seen some mistakes with time ACL openign the proxy to full
general use outside work hours. The lack of Squid CPU load in your snapshot
makes this unlikely but might be worth checking anyway just in case.

 Could also be upstream network load. If this is hanging off a popular ISP
with a lot of high-bandwidth users the whole network can slow down as
people at home ramp up their use. Though I would expect to see some
intermittent problems from end of school hours (~4pm?) in that case.
