profiling of a very simple case

Hello,

I would like to know how squid behaves in the very simple case where the
request is HIT. There are, I believe, a few steps like:
  - parsing a the HTTP request
  - searching in the metadata through the hash table whether the data
are in the cache or not
  - getting the data from the disk
  - building the HTTP response
  - sending it to the network
If those steps are almost correct, I wold to know if someone has ever
done measurements of the time taken by each of these steps especially
the search in the hash table depending on the size of this one.
As a matter of fact, I could not find these informations anywhere.
Thanks,
Frederique.
