[squid-users] process load

Hello,

I am new to squid.

Under the following scenario please throw some lights.

I have a small ISP. I have around 50 clients that are basically
offices. Each clients shares internet in around 10 computers. Some
offices doesn't requires windows update while some offices doesn't
requires anti-virus updates. Similarly some offices don't want their
staff to browse sites like youtube.com.

Instead of telling them how to turn off windows update or Anitvirus
update I want to control that in server level. I thought of making
different ACL in my squid server.

Like deny if clients=xyz and site= windows update
        deny if clients=abc and site= youtube.com
        and so on

But my senior told me that making many ACL will hampers squid process.

So I want to know how many ACL is suitable in a single squid server.
How many ACL is safe enough so as not to hamper squid's process.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Rishav Upadhaya
