Ok, may be.

Sorry, I don't know English well enough.
On version 3.5.28 with such settings, users from the deny_blocked list used
a bandwidth of 64kbps.
On version 4.x with the same settings, users from the deny_blocked list used
the entire bandwidth without restrictions.

I dont know.
I just used delay pool class 4
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/cfgman/delay_class.html) with the
appropriate delay_parameters as described in the
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/cfgman/delay_parameters.html
documentation, and this worked exactly as I wanted.

Ok.
It was important for me to make sure that the developers were aware of the
problem. Thanks!
