It prevents OpenSSL copying that 1MB into each incoming client 
connections memory. The CAs are only useful there when you have some of 
the global CAs as root for client certificates - in which case you still 
only want to trust the roots you paid for service and not all of them.

Just something to try if there are huge memory issues with TLS/SSL 
proxying. The default behaviour is fixed for Squid-4 with the config 
options changes. But due to being a major surprise for anyone already 
relying on global roots for client certs it remains a problem in 3.5.
