Even though all logged in pages are squid misses the squids are still getting hit rates for text of 92%, which is only a little less than the ~99% from the image cache hierarchy.
That's actually quite a lot less. 8 times as many text requests aren't cached as image requests. You have to be careful when comparing percentages - the absolute difference between the two is a pretty meaningless number.
Indeed, but still both are "very effective". If you're going to go the 'absolute' route then even 99% is leaving a lot of requests uncached in absolute terms.
