Maybe I should have said more specific in my last post...

Anyway I carried out some testing on the actual example that was given in the first post of this thread.

I downloaded this same 1.5MB object from www.supernews.com several times:
- via my local transparently-redirected group of proxies (Bham)
- via specified proxies, both local and remote in different areas.
- via my work's VPN connection via a VPN server in the US

I downloaded the object using the free GNU uility 'wget' on XP: http://gnu.paradoxical.co.uk/software/wget/wget.html

It is a simple command line 'web get' tool which should eradicate any browser discrepancies. It can specify a proxy, indicate the object's download speed, and display the http headers which are useful in determining whether it's the same object and whether it's been obtained from cache. (Unfortunately I did have some small background file transfers going on which might explain some variance in the results, but it wasn't very significant.)

Results (long)

The speed for the first object fetch was broadly similar (70-100KB/s) for all locations, irrespective of whether it was from transparently redirected caches or manually specified - and the same for local vs remote. It was even slower via my US VPN connection (which does have to encrypt/decrypt and encapsulate every packet).
Then for any subsequent hits from the same cache, the object downloaded at full speed (300KB/s).

So from this admittedly quick and dirty test I can't see anything much different about any of the proxies that I tried, and it appears that www.supernews.com is doing rate limitation for every connection (fairly understandable given the site) - unless anyone can download this object at a significantly faster rate (and show that is hasn't been cached).

Full results:

In the below http headers, note that if the 'Age:' header is >= a few seconds then the object is a cache hit i.e. it has been served from the cache.

#1 Transparently redirected via Bham cache group (Miss)

Destination is www.supernews.com - the network latency via ping seem to be about 200ms (so it's a US site).
