Er, Squid caches everything by default, so unless you've misconfigured 
it horribly it's already caching.

There are directives to determine the maximum file size to cache and 
how long files may be cached for.

As far as I know there's no way to tell Squid to avoid checking the 
cached file vs the original file on the web site and re-downloading 
the file if the cached version is out of date.  I could be wrong 
though.

The currency check does utilise some minimal bandwidth.
