This will be much faster if you let squidGuard build it's lookup db.

helper processes are restarted

  when "squid -k rotate" is run
  when "squid -k reconfigure" is run
  when more than 50% of the helpers have crashed
  if Squid crashes or is restarted

See cache.log for information on why the helpers was restarted.
