 From http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DelayPools (under the heading
of "There are some limitations of delay pools"):

"delay pools are incompatible with slow aborts; quick abort should be
set fairly low to prevent objects being retrieved at full speed once
there are no clients requesting them (as the traffic allocation is based
on the current clients, and when there are no clients attached to the
object there is no way to determine the traffic allocation)."
