The thing is that we have to transfer a complete linux tree to the slave node no matter what.
Whether you --reference something on master or use the master hosted squid shouldn't make any significant net difference.
Speaking of squid, we have problems with it starting up after a reboot, I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ci/+bug/1003835 for this.
And well, we probably should do more formal testing of it - when I looked at it during ci.linaro.org migration to a bigger machine, I didn't see stellar hit rate.
So bottom line: I don't think you will win much, but I am happy to be proofen wrong.
