It is a very difficult topic. The best documentation that I know about 
(and it is not very good) is squid.conf.documented and
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SslPeekAndSplice

I bet that whatever it is that slows your Squid down, it is not the 
number of listening ports (i.e. what I presume you call "IPs"): AFAIK, 
when handling traffic, Squid does not iterate over listening ports so 
the number of listening ports should not affect Squid runtime 
performance much.

FWIW, several companies and individuals offer paid Squid support. 
Unfortunately, the Squid Project effectively stopped maintaining the 
list of those support shops, and Google is unable to find the right 
pages in my quick test, but they are out there.

I agree!


Good luck,
