Squid by default only consolidates requests after it knows the object
can be cached.

What this means is that if you have N requests sent at the same time (or
more exactly, before the response headers is known to Squid) then they
will all get forwarded as Squid doesn't yet know.

In Squid-2.6 there is an option to make Squid consolidate requests more
aggressively, at the cost of slightly increased latency if it turns out
the object isn't cachable.
