squid-2.3-200007042300 and AIO_PROPER_MUTEX

Currently running Squid 2.2 Stable 5 with WCCP back port and HNO patches
doing async-io. Seems stable, and can handle more requests/sec than 2.3
Stable 3 without async-io.

2.3 Stable 3 with async-io enabled doesn't seem all that stable. With
squid-2.3-200007042300 patched applied to Squid 2.3 Stable 3, will aync-io
know be 'happier'? Will the AIO_PROPER_MUTEX make life happier?

I like the added functionality of Squid 2.3 Stable 3 where you can set a
limit on minimum object size, the recent patch for size 0 (frontpage anyone?
;) and LFUDA storage replacement policy. Would also like to have the webdav
methods added. But because of the load on the box, I need async-io. The
box is beefy (640 Megs, two 17 gig SCSI-2 ultrawides), but without the
async-io, can't keep up with the number of requests per second. Can't wait
for 2.4 and DISKD! =]

Henrik, is async-io on 2.3 Stable 3 reliable after squid-2.3-200007042300?
Anybody else?

And because the developers probably don't hear it enough, thanks guys!
Pretty impressive work!
