Could you include connect method in nginx to give us an alternative to  
squid?

Squid can be notorious for its CPU usage.

There may be a Klondike bar in it for you. 🙂

Check out Apache Traffic Server, which has a forward-proxy mode and  
certainly seems to be a lot more modern in design than squid:
