It doesn't actually, but it considerably speeds up error recovery by allowing Squid to terminate the request if it looks like the client aborted the session. In dial-up conditions there is many more error causes than in a fixed connection so the likelyhood that there is connectivity problems to the Internet is much higher, and without disabling half_closed_clients there is a high likelyhood for a lot of stuck connections to build up.
