Squid does indeed cache and buffer the output like you describe. I
don't know if Apache does so, but in practice, it has not been an
issue for my site, which is quite busy (about 700k pages per month).
I think if you can avoid hitting a mod_perl server for the images,
you've won more than half the battle, especially on a graphically
intensive site.
