I upgraded to squid 3.0, and the slow prompt problem went away. Problem 1
solved.

No reasonably secure browser sends credentials by default. Anyone who
fails to authenticate is requested to send credentials.
Let me address problem 2 a different way. Suppose my external firewall
bounces all traffic that is not originating from my proxy. Suppose there are
automated applications that need to access the internet, and cant' supply
credentials. Could I tweak squid's acl to not require authentication for
devices trying to access those locations. Suppose I needed my anti virus to
get files from http://myantivirus.com, but it doesn't open a browser to
fetch these updates.
