Those options are mostly for "enable" or "disable" a feature in squid. Few of them are maybe good for performance under special conditons,like --enable-async-io, --with-aio, --with-filedescriptors, --enable-removal-policies etc. But others, I don't think so.. Deploy squid's serverbox with good hardware, like fast disk, huge memory, strong CPU can improve the performance fundamentally. Also this is the suggested usage for kind of high-performance squid from Amos: http://squidcn.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!B49104BB65206A10!233.entry HTH.
