My experience was bad. Using squid 2.3 S? (last year) I tried loading a list of 100000 urls from a textfile which was referenced in squid.conf. Starting Squid lasts more than 10 minutes - and then squid died - AFAIK missing memory.
Now squidguard knows the big url list. And all works fine and sufficient fast.
