We can stop here. Please upgrade to Squid v5.7 or later. Squid v5.2 is 
just too buggy to be usable in most production environments (and to 
investigate any performance problems).

There are known Squid v5.2 bugs that may result in the above warnings 
and related performance degradation. I hope that these problems will be 
gone, and your Squid performance will be acceptable after you upgrade.


Good luck,

Alex.
