Squid doesn't use subprocesses in the sense you imply..

The 20 processes you are seeing are threads - linux (somewhat
misleadingly) shows a separate process for each pthread created in a
process, although they all share the same address space. Squid will not
create anymore threads no matter what you do - there is no need to
worry. The threads are used for disk access, to prevent squid blocking.
