It wouldn't give Squid much of a performance benefit considering
the codebase and how we do IO.
Lighttpd currently implements its disk IO using a blocking method. If
they wanted to change to async they'd probably have to drop the
sendfile() support.
(Or, really, send someone on a trip to implement some slightly better
kernel interfaces for async disk/network IO.)
