I assume you're looking in Cache Manager's "General Runtime Information" 
screen. The "Page faults with physical i/o" statistic is the number 
of times Squid looked for a requested object in memory, didn't find 
it, and had to load the object from disk.

Divide the number of page faults by the "Number of HTTP requests 
received" statistic, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. Let 
us know what this percentage is - I honestly couldn't say at what 
level one should be concerned.

Disk is slower than memory, so if the number is really high then 
it can impact performance. The solution is to allocate more memory 
for Squid to hold cache objects in (the cache_mem parameter in squid.
conf).
