I think the most probably reason is that squid started using either too much
of memory that could cause the machine swapping, see
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory

Or maybe is used too much of disk space that could cause disk i/o sloweness
- many filesystems tend to slow down when filled too much, and having more
space filles with data of course causes the disk to be more accessed.
