What would it be for FreeBSD?

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SystemSpecificOptimizations

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DiskDaemon - is diskd still the
best choice for a BSD?

I know 3.x had some issues (about a year ago) with aufs and coss..

What would be the recommended for a BSD? (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.. )

and does i386 and amd64 make a difference?

(devils advocate question.. )

does just compiling with aufs make squid make use of multi-core threads?
  - As in would there be a difference with squid performance (other than
non-caching) if cache_dir null /tmp is set? - with and without aufs..

Thanks in advance
