Consider, for example, a household with multiple computers --- and iPhones and iPads are computers. When different computers access the same web resources, they hit the squid server and all (apart from the first) load those resources a lot faster and without consuming external bandwidth. I have all the computers in my household configured to go through a single squid proxy and the increase is speed and reduction in bandwidth is noticeable. One particularly obvious place this shows up is in OS X system updates. The first 200MB update will take a few minutes, but the update on every other machine will download in a few seconds --- because its is being pulled in from the squid cache.

Unless you plan to make the computer running squid an "internet service provider" in your LANs, i honestly dont see the point in installing one more service at your mac. //2 cents the way you present it, you sound like it is better than what any modern browser offers, i.e. caching.
