The major difference is that 1.2 maintains each cache directory
separately. You can add/remove cache directories as needed without
wiping your cache. Squid automatically adjusts and balances the usage on
the available cache directories.
Performance differences:
* There is is ongoing work to balance the I/O load evenly on each cache
directory.
* Squids I/O pattern is more suited for one cache directory per disk
than a stripe. Squid primarily needs to be able to read/write at many
different places at the same time (==lots of seeks) and keeping one
operation/object isolated to one disk gives fewer seeks in total. Squid
does NOT need a very high I/O rate on one single request.
