This (timeout 0) indicates Squid probably thinks there is some timed
event that it needs to attend to.

Exactly what is hard to say, but it should in such case be visible using
cachemgr.

squidclient mgr:events

But the best action is probably to record a debug log of what Squid is
doing when you see this:

squid -k debug; sleep 1; squid -k debug

then file a bug report and attach your cache.log file.

To stop it first step is to identify the cause..
