What cache_dir type are you using? You should be using one of the async 
cache_dir types (aufs or diskd depending on your OS type).

FreeBSD and Linux generally get the same speeds, but Squid needs to be set 
up slightly differently.

In case of FreeBSD some OS tuning is required in parallell to the Squid 
configuration (diskd has strict requirements on shared memory and IPC 
message queues far beyond the default OS settings)
