Hi,

Henrik: maybe you forgot to attach the patch... Or is it located on your
personal squid page?
The patch - in its current state - modifies only the swap log file. Am I
right?

This data could be useful after restarting the cache, since at the restart
process timestamp information are lost which primarily influence the LRU
algorithm.

Yes, yes, yes! I would like to see that! This would be simple and the
headers used can be easily extended! This approach could help even the
background storage processing as well.
