This seems to be specific to some use, but not others. Rock is young yet
so not all use-cases are stabilized. (Particularly if you're talking
about the Squid-3.4 in Debian's.)

Specifics about those issues would help a lot if you are able to assist
tracking that down.

Thanks for that. The AUFS results bear out what I know of it. But I am
quite surprised you got diskd going that fast at all. What physical disk
backend are you using?
