Thanks list for help.

restarting squid is not a solution, I noticed only after 20 minutes
after restarting, squid started consuming/eating CPU again.

Nor I re-compiled Squid, as I have to use binary/rpm version of squid
that shipped with the Distro I am using

issue resolved via removing acl that blocked almost 60K urls/domains

commenting following worked
##acl porn_deny url_regex "/etc/squid/domains.deny"
##http_access deny porn_deny

so how can I deny illegal contents/website ?
