Rule of thumb: if performance sucks, you've got squid misconfigured. Bypassing squid isn't the issue here. I recommend following a tuning guide (say Joe Coopers excellent one), and of you have time polygraphing your resultant squid install, to be sure it can handle a sustained network load roughly equivalent to what your production load will be.
