Hi Wladner,

 If you use MIT Kerberos you could try to disable the replay cache

Kerberos can keep a replay cache to detect the reuse of Kerberos tickets
(usually only possible in a 5 minute window) . If squid is under high load
with Negotiate(Kerberos) proxy authentication requests the replay cache
checks can create high CPU load. If the environment does not require high
security the replay cache check can be disabled for MIT based Kerberos
implementations by adding the following to the startup script

KRB5RCACHETYPE=none
export KRB5RCACHETYPE

as described here
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/Kerberos.
