Squid has a slight overhead but I would not have thought it would be noticeable. Of course if you are only testing from a single workstation then squid will rarely, if ever, be useful. How is your browser set up? How often does it check whether the cached files are up to date. Where is squid doing its DNS lookups? What does /etc/resolv.cnf have in it? If you are stuck with using dhcpcd for dsl then sometimes /etc/resolv.cnf gets overwritten and local programs start using an external DNS server instead of the local one.
