[squid-users] Opinions on use of "--enable-truncate" option?

It seems that recent Red Hat packages of Squid are using the
"--enable-truncate" config option by default. Aparently someone there
thinks there is a gain to be made by truncating rather than unlinking the
cached objects.

I wonder if this is applicable to my Squid (v2.5S9) installation. I'm
running a Red Hat distro, but using a ReiserFS filesystem (with
notail,noatime options) for my cache rather than RH's default ext3. Both
configurations use aufs for storage.

I'm looking for a little guidance on whether or not "--enable-truncate" is
appropriate for me. Any opinions?

Thanks.
