are you sure this numbers are correct? where do you get them from?

in first place diskd does not cause automatic restart ;) that is RunCache
who does it and I also do not believe that diskd cause squid to crash

if the crash really happens then there is something wrong on your machine

if the problem is the load and your computer can not handle the load then
it first gets slow or you get out of memory and then squid may crash but
you better should look what is really wrong there before blaming the fs
type you use

with-pthreads is not necessary

but certainly this switch is kind of strange for freebsd since you need to
remap the process-threads to kernel-threads in order to get it right
(faster), both thread implementations should work well then with kqueue
which also is correctly detected by configure when available
