[squid-users] configuring diskd for squid

While reading the faq section 22.9 it describes the Q1 & Q2 parameters..
When squid gets under a high load as far as disk access is concerned,
wouldn't it be better for squid to "refuse to open files" before it blocks
and thus slowing all of the requests?

The source code sets magic1 (Q1) to 64 and magic2 (Q2) to 72 by default.
Also, if it were better to block before refusing to open wouldn't it be
better to change the defaults in the source code?

Thanks!

Steve
