"async-io" in 2.3 is quite broken in fundamental ways, due to a
architecture change in how Squid manages the on-disk store.

In 2.4 it should work reasonably well again, but some tuning remains to
make it really spin (if something like that can be said about the way
Squid manages the "ufs" family of stores, ufs/aufs/diskd).

Never been needed on Linux boxes as far as I know.
