  Normally not, if the box, has adequate memory etc. Squid
  can feel happy for months.

  The question may depend on additional requirements which you may
  have.
  I use for instance , mrtg to monitor squid usage and to pre-detect
  abnormal usage syndroms in the long turn.

  This already helped me diagnose buggy browsers or web apps.
  bombarding squid with 'looping requests' for instance.
