Note: The acls of a modern Squid also does a pretty good job if you use
the correct acl types for the job (i.e. do not throw everything into a
url_regex.. would be the same thing as throwing everything into a
SquidGuard expression list..)

Squid lacks a little when it comes to a equivalence of SquidGuard URL
matching and these currently have to be done by regex matching. To speed
this up considerably you can build a filter by combining url_regex and
dstdomain, there the dstdomain acl contains all hostnames extracted from
your list of URLs. This will make sure that the slow url_regex list is
not processed unless the request is for one of the hosts in your list of
URLs.
