while this machine is fine for low volumes and IMGAte only, it can be slow 
with highvolumes, lots of POSIX regex scanning, plus whatever

but 15+ minutes for postmap is still way too long

ok, I think you problem is there. the disk is very active (CPU not because 
it's waiting on disk) but I don't know why postmap would add so much i/o.

you can your disk can stay quite busy even without postmap.  So I think the 
disk is quite loaded.   can you stop squid for 20 minutes to see if it's 
disk i/o is the problem?
