SquidGuard is said to be faster when you use a large number of patterns.
A few thousand url_regex ACL entries in Squid will slow things down a bit.
But there are other ACL types like 'dstdomain' which speed up things
even if used directly in Squid.

And good luck filtering on blacklists. IIRC a few thousand domains
are registered every day. You will have to add a lot of blacklist
entries regularly. ;)

Just ask. If you want to learn how to combine ACLs generally, read
