Sorry for delay replying.

Once you've done a "squidGuard -C all" once you should find that squid
and squidguard start very quickly and you will be able to configure for
many squidguard processes (I use 10 but you may need more) and squid
will probably still start and/or restart quickly enough that loss of
service is not a problem.

When you change your blacklists etc you just do "squidGuard -C all" and
then runs without interfering with the running squid and then when it
has finished "-C"ing do "squid -k reconfigure" to restart squid with the
new blacklists.
