(at a fork, you go through the data segments for the process, not all
RAM. Yes, it is therefore more efficient to fork a small process than
a large one).

If we were talking about the ftpget stub process, yes there is a need.
Mind you, it doesn't help too much because you still get a failure
when you next rotate the log files, because squid stops and re-starts
the ftpget process.
