It depends on how you classify your traffic of course. If you have all
your Squid connections vying for a small share of bandwidth then I guess
this could be a problem.

One thing that you might like to look at is the new packet marking patch
for Squid (as of the later revisions of v3.2). This allows a mark to be
set on the "server" side of Squid (ie. the interface receiving the data
from the remote server) and for the mark to be re-set on the client side
(ie. the data being sent to the client making the request).
