Also, there is an industry standard tool for testing performance of web caching servers called polygraph (written by two of the founding Squid developers), and ncache seems to have not been tested with that tool. Micro-benchmarks are almost always misleading.
Disclaimer: I was a core Squid developer for several years, and consider many current Squid developers good friends. But, I don't think that invalidates my assertions.
not sure about faster but the dev posted some stats
