I'm not looking for any caching or rewriting features.

I've been using tinyproxy [1], which I found on [2].  It claims to be
multithreaded but in reality it single-threads all its requests.  I'm
guessing that maybe Python on Windows doesn't do threading correctly
or it blocks on slow I/O operations or something.

The problem, of course, is that my employer has a VPN which is
Windows-only.  I have a Doze box whose sole function is to forward
traffic through the VPN.  Because tinyproxy single-threads everything,
it takes 3-5x as long to load web pages through the proxy as it does
on a Windows browser.

Any suggestions?
