it means how many squidguard instances should squid spawn.

/usr/local/bin/squidguard
/usr/local/bin/squidguard
/usr/local/bin/squidguard
/usr/local/bin/squidguard
/usr/local/bin/squidguard

watch your processes ie Top or netstat, and watch how many are being used. then you can adjust accordingly. 10 is usually just fine.
I have a case where i have thousands of connections so i run 100 redirects. Your squid logs will also tell you if your running out.
