With the current fetch system squid is not really direct useful, without
miss-appropriating it some what, if we go http textures via caps then
may be it would be useful but would need an slproxy instance as well.

I was going to do a mysql cache, i've already done some mods so it
should be a trivial next step for me. I greatly expect for a single
client the performance to be worse but as the number of local clients
increase and if the db server is thrown a lot of memory it may level out
and could help reduce total data download.
