2.3S2: unlink vs. truncate on Linux/ext2?

Has anyone collected statistics on the relative performance of
truncate vs. unlink when Squid v2.3S2 is running on a Linux ext2
filesystem?

I understand that unlink will use fewer fileystem nodes, but beyond
that is there reason to prefer one method over the other?

Thank you.
