Re: [squid-users] squid becomes very slow during peak hours

I wonder if your problem might be diskd.

At one time, diskd was hailed as a great way to speed up a cache,
but that was back in the days when caches had a small fraction of
the load they do today. Nowadays, it appears that diskd's overhead
creates a huge bottleneck.

Have you tried COSS or AUFS?
