HTTP messages consist of a variable amount of bytes each. A HIT on a
1KB object saves less bandwidth than a HIT on a 1MB object. The only
(relatively) predictable thing based on message count is consumed CPU
and network sockets.


"% of all requests" is counting by messages.
 - higher values means less CPU consumed/wasted upstream (server
latency), less contention for TCP sockets (HTTP pipeline congestion).

"% of bytes sent" is counting by bandwidth used.
 - higher values means less bandwidth consumed/wasted upstream (TCP
congestion).

So ... in the past 60min 0.3% of your clients were responded to using
the cache, which reduced your upstream bandwidth usage/cost by 25.5%.
