[squid-users] Squid and bandwidth saving!!!

Dear all squid gurus,

Kindly help me with this,
i have configured mrtg on my gateway routers (serial interface) in order to
check the bandwidth utilisation.
I am using squid +wccp for my users who access internet and the fact is that
there is no difference in the bandwidth utilization even if the squid is
working or not.

I have 3 scsi drives and they are 43% filled and i am getting
Request 56 - 100/minute
hits 23- 70/minute

So if squid is not able to save bandwidth then Y using a server and
resources for it.This is the question my Boss in asking from me.What shoud
be my answer????
