What Adrian continuously fails to mention, is that he is the only
developer actively working on improving Squid-2. The rest of us major
developers have decided Squid-2 should be superseded by Squid-3 and are
improving Squid-3. Importing features from Squid-2 to Squid-3 as people
need them.

As for changing; Squid-3 has more and better ACL controls than Squid-2.
Squid-2 has more work from Adrian in speed improvements than Squid-3.

Based on that list you gave, it's a matter of choice for you whether you
need those new and finer ACL controls in Squid-3 or more speed.
