Varnish is an optimized for use as a reverse-proxy. Squid is a general
proxy. In particular Varnish excells in the area of tiny files from few
backends and CPU SMP concurrency from its threading. Whereas Squid
excells in medium or large files (100KB+) and supports a wider range of
object types cached. At least that was true in 2009 when the last
reliable benchmarks were done. Both have changed since then I'm sure. At
least Squid has gained SMP concurrency and far faster storage retrieval
of small objects.
