We also had bad experience on caching Videos with Squid.
It was about 3 years ago, the company openned a project like Youtube.
We tried to use squid-2.6 for video caching, but got worse result.
So we gave up squid, used lighttpd instead, and distributed video
files to each webserver.

For your case, could consider these two ways:

1. use aufs instead of ufs under linux.
2. use tmpfs for cache_dir's file system.

Good luck.
