I second all of the above. In particular that the built-in QoS features
of the firewall or router device neworking config is far better place to
be doing the delay actions than Squid.

In regards to delay pools and HTTPS. As far as I know the pools work
without decrypting, although you may encounter one of a handful of bugs
which trigger over or under counting of bytes (depending on the bug
hit). So you may need a special delay pool configured with a hack on the
speed value of port 443 traffic to make the user-visible speed what they
expect.
