Then switch to the concurrent helper protocol with only one or two
helper processes.. requires a minimal change in the helper to support
the new request/response format. This significantly speeds up things as
Squid then batches several request to the helper, reducing the amount of
context switching.

See url_rewrite_concurrency. The protocol change is the same as for the
auth_param concurency parameter:

request:

  channel url method ...[newline]

response:

  channel new-url[newline]
or
  channel[newline]

that is responses need to echo back the same channel identifier as the
request had.

requests may be answered out-of-order if one likes.
