You probably want a longer ttl than this.. I would suggest something
like the following as a startingpoint for groups:

   ttl=600 negative_ttl=30

This makes Squid remember for 10 minutes that a user is member of a
group, and 30 seconds that he is not. This allows for reasonably fast
propagation of changes with given priority to changes where a user is
added to groups.

This balance works well assuming groups are used for giving permissions,
not further restricting users only because they are member of certain
groups.
