I am not sure I understand your question.

 From the question My only conclusion is that the complexity of SMP was
not understood yet.

Squid is a single process application.
In 3.2 what we try to do is to let the admin configure a cache service
using the basic single process idea while extending the configuration to
allow pre-defining of multi process squid service.

Each and every squid instance can and should communicate with other
instances in order to achieve the result which is MutliCPU utilization.

I would try to say that looking at squid instances is more like "how do
I configure a cluster of squids?"

Once the understanding of how a cluster should be configured the answer
to your question will be answered in a sec.

All the bests,
Eliezer
