The Delay Pools FAQ explains the different delay pool classes:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8

Use a class 1 delay pool instead, which sets a total limit for the pool,
which is then shared equally between all connections.

According to the Delay Pools FAQ and the default squid.conf, it is a
percentage of how full the delay pool's "bucket" (count of available bytes)
is when Squid starts, is reconfigured, or receives its first connection.

This allows users to start surfing immediately after Squid starts, instead
of having to wait for the delay pool's bucket to fill. It appears to
default to 50%.
