My first reaction is to run a small benchmark in parallel to squid
performing a reasonably slow sequence of random reads over the disks and
measuring the response time.. SSD disks in particular may have a habit
of "randomly" block all requests for a while during/after a period of
writes.. and OS write buffering and batching may even add to this queue
latency problem.

But I have not read up on the whole problem description.

Also keep in mind that as Amos mentioned earlier these "Queue
congestion" warnings come more frequently after start as there is a
filter preventing the logs from getting overwhelmed with this warning.

Henrik
