It's true, netcache is faster then squid, but if you look closely the
second graph is unfair to squid....
First they determine where squid maxs out, and where netcache max out.
The they graph between that range for the second chart...

Notice how they say Unix, so they can fail to mention Novell's
fastcache, which performs even better under these tests.

Notice how they fail to mention server specs. Squid is just a little
more memory hunger the netcache, so if the machine is on the edge, you
would expect squid to do worse... Also, how many drives, etc...
