You should not be concerned. Also, this question is "frequently asked":

  11.27. I am using up over 95% of the filemap bits?!!

  Note: The information here is current for version 2.3

  Calm down, this is now normal. Squid now dynamically allocates
  filemap bits based on the number of objects in your cache. You won't
  run out of them, we promise.
