You have not configured your squid in accelerator mode. Transparent
proxies is essentially a HTTP accelerator in front of every HTTP server,
and not really a proxy..

Example squid.conf:

# Enable transparent proxy on redirected port 80 traffic
httpd_accel virtual 80
# Get the servers real host name from the Host: header if available.
# (this was where the patch was required)
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
# Allow clients to configure us as a proxy if they like to.
httpd_accel_with_proxy on

# Generic ACL maching all
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

# Give our clients access
acl clients src 1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0
http_access allow clients

# Not peering with any ICP caches at the moment..
udp_incoming_address 127.0.0.1
icp_access deny all

# Some cache is nice to have
cache_dir /squid_cache
cache_swap 1500

This patch only applied to 1.1.20 and earlier. It is included in the
1.1.21 distribution (see the Changelog).
