Question about max_scan and max_remove calculation.

I am a researcher on web cache. When studying the Squid code, I am curious
about the formulas calculating max_scan and max_remove.

max_scan = (int) ( f*400.0 +100.0);
max_remove = (int) ( f*70.0 +10.0);

Could somebody tell me the reasons that the formulas are used and the
parameters such as 400.0, 100.0, 70.0 and 10.0 are chosen. Are there
anything related to statistics analysis?

Look forward to reply and Thanks a lot!
