Sounds like my branch, HTML Prefetching. Analyze HTML that goes through
Squid and fetch the embedded objects. Is that right?

   http://devel.squid-cache.org/projects.html#prefetching

Currently, my numbers show a small to large slow down against non
prefetching requests. In theory, it should never show worse numbers.

If this is your project, I'd very much appreciate an extra pair of
hands. There's a lot of work left to do.

Thanks,
