[squid-users] Switched to aufs - Squid eating ~100% CPU?

I recently switched from diskd to aufs on quite busy Squid-cache (50-100
hits/s). After recompiling to 20030108, changing "cache_dir diskd" ->
"cache_dir aufs" in conf-file and starting Squid again, I noticed that
Squid was eating 100% CPU even almost without requests. Also loadavg
seems to get very high even with small amount of requests.

Is this very high CPU utilization normal to aufs?

System is running Linux 2.4.20 on AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ with 2GBs of
RAM and 60GB's of cachedirs and 150MB of cachemem. System works fine
when using diskd but somehow slow, like requests are blocking eachothers
sometimes.

I'm eager to see what happens tomorrow when request count is higher.
