Calamaris is a good source of information on general proxy performance.

One of the output sections of Calamaris, "Incoming TCP-requests by status",
will show the number and percentage of requests and bytes that are cache
hits. For cache hits, requests are the number of items that were served
from the cache and not from the Internet, and bytes are the amount of
bandwidth that was saved.

See the sample Calamaris HTML report for a view of this (note that this
report is more verbose - a less verbose version can also be generated).
