Read my last sentence above. You are talking about fiddling with all
sorts of obscure things which may or may not result in performance gains
(and may break your system horribly if you get it wrong.) Doing nothing
and letting squid do all the work is just as good (if not better in many
cases.) Why bother unless you have nothing better to do than fiddle
with things? I get paid to spend my time on more productive things.
