It doesn't look like it from the FAQ and squid.conf.default - delay pools
seem to exist outside the ACL paradigm within Squid.

It does (through delay pools), but I can't see a way to apply it to
certain URLs only. However, the delay pool mechanism does allow for burst
transfer limits as well as general limits, which means that you can allow
small objects to be fetched at high speed but still dial back the
bandwidth available to prolonged transfers - this may be useful to the
original poster.
