Why aren't there any (or marginal / insignificant) improvements over 3
spindles? Is it because squid is a single threaded application?
On this note, what impact does the L1 and L2 directories have on AUFS
performance? I understand that these are there to control the number of
objects in each folder. But, what would be a good number of files to keep
in a directory, performance wise?

"The primary purpose of these tests is to show that Squid's performance
doesn't increase in proportion to the number of disk drives. Excluding
other
factors, you may be able to get better performance from three systems
with
one disk drive each, rather than a single system with three drives."
There is a significant difference up to 3 drives in my tests.
Um, can you clarify please? Do you mean difference in experience than
described, or separate systems are faster up to 3 drives?
