The optimal number depends on the type of redirector used and the
request load. If your redirector is only using CPU time then not very
many is needed, but if the redirector is doing database queries or
other operations which may temporarily block the redirector process
then more is needed. Also, the higher your request load is the more
processes you need due to the design of Squid.
cachemgr can be used to figure out how well balanced your number of
redirectors are. If you find that all redirectors are used a lot then
you have too few, if you find that there is redirectors never used
then you may have too many.
