UFS = Unix File System
AUFS = UFS with Asynchronous I/O (or I/O thread) support

Naturally the highly parallel disk I/O access method is faster than the
basic filesystem I/O method. In between them performance-wise is diskd
cache type (disk daemon) which still uses the standard I/O methods to a
UFS format cache, but does them in a dedicated daemon separated from the
main Squid network processing load. For strange (probably bug related)
reasons diskd works better than AUFS on BSD systems.
