  1. what kind of drive configuration that fast enough for squid ?
  2. is it true that block-level parity strip raid faster than byte-level one ?
  3. is mirrored drive config will decrease squid cache write process ?
  4. how much swap space that squid realy need to store cache (reverse mode) for 200mb web doc ?
  5. what kind of benchmark should i do to analyze squid disk performance ?
