the latency is caused by the speed of light and cant be decreased it...
therefore, the longer the path for a packet to travel (eg. satellite links),
the higher latency you will get....

here are my recommendations to improve your service:

1) be sure that the followings are enabled in your /etc/sysctl.conf:

    net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=1
    net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=1
    net.ipv4.tcp_sack=1

2) increase your tcp window size according to bandwidth-delay product

3) parent your squid to your "isp net" proxy server

fooler.
