Why yes. Thats their purpose.

Use delay_pool_access to determine which requests/connections get pooled
and which don't.

Can delay_pools be used to somewhat "lessen" the user experience of
those non work-related sites (e.g. slow them down considerably?)
  


Yes.

acl non-work dstdomain .ebay.com .craigslist.com
delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 1
delay_parameters 1 1250/1250
delay_access 1 allow non-work
delay_access 1 deny all


Would define a single shared pool, with 1.25 kbytes/sec (10kbit/sec) 
available bandwidth which would affect access to ebay.com, 
craigslist.com and all of their subdomains.

Yes.

Squid 3's class 4 (if you authenticate users) and class 5 (if you
don't) delay pools are especially useful for this.
