Hey Amos, >From the docs: http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/cfgman/cache_swap_low.html I see that this is only for UFS/AUFS/diskd and not rock cache_dir. What about rock cache_dir?

I made the removal rate grow in steps of the difference between the marks. A low of 60 and high of 70 means there are 4 steps of 10 between 60% and 100% full cache - so Squid will be removing 4*200 objects/sec when the cache is 99.999% full. But a low of 90 and high 91 will remove 10*200 objects/sec at the same full point. Low numbers like 60, 70 etc are only needed now if you have to push the removal rate past 2K objects/sec - eg low 60 high 61 will be removing 40*200 = 8K objects/sec. If you know your peak traffic rate in req/sec you should be able to tune the purge rate to match that peak traffic rate. The speed traffic reaches that peak should inform what the gap is between the watermarks.
