Please note that RAID5 can degrade performance quite noticeably for
workloads like Squid with aufs/diskd. This due to the high amount of
random writes. But it depends a lot on the RAID controller, and
obviously the amount of drives installed in the RAID set and amount of
(battery backed) memory used by the RAID controller for write
optimizations..

Squid only uses little more than one core at most.

Try Squid-2.7, and aufs instead of diskd.

And don't forget to check your cache.log to see if there is any relevant
warnings/errors.
