[squid-users] cache digest in stead of ICP within my hierarchy ?!?!?

Hi,

First of all happy New Year to you all!!

Can someone explain to me if enabling my squid with cache digest in stead of
ICP could make a big difference in performance.
I have following stats :
From cachemgr - Connection information for squid:
Number of clients accessing cache: 645
Number of HTTP requests received: 637636
Number of ICP messages received: 455063
Number of ICP messages sent: 455063
Number of queued ICP replies: 0
Request failure ratio: 0.00%
HTTP requests per minute: 88.7
ICP messages per minute: 126.6
Select loop called: 30718479 times, 14.047 ms avg

From squeezer :
Performance:
                        No of req Xfer(kB) Xfer speed
(kB/s) Xfer % Times to direct
Total traffic 335584 1899114 2.506 100.00 0.50
Direct fetches 2725 72905 5.026 3.84 1.00
This server 70459 87261 7.135 4.59
1.42
Other servers 304575 1733066 2.425 91.26 0.48
Cache hierarchy 375034 1820328 2.504 95.85 0.50
Total traffic should at least be higher than 1 (right), this way direct goes
faster and
makes no sense to use a proxy.

What impact would this have not only for my parents but also for the childs.
Do I need to reconfigure them all then?
What do you guys advise, I already did the tuning section.
