Look back in the squid-dev archives. Something similar to this has been
proposed before when discussing multithreading, multiprocesses, and
other approaches to getting Squid running in SMP environments.

Note that simply doing a diskd won't suffice as it is nothing more than
simply asyncronous i/o with some minor mapping. Far more has to be
restructured for it to work.
