You have two options:

a) Play with refresh_pattern to make Squid cache objects longer. For
example you can quite likely tweak it to use more relaxed rules for
images without risking serving stale content to the users.

b) Investigate different replacement policies. But if you find that
using a much bigger cache does not help then using another replacement
policy most likely won't either as the replacement policy is only about
not evicting interesting objects from the cache to make room for new
ones..
