Hey, For most StoreID helpers you won't care about this but the other option is StoreID ICAP server integration but I didn't had enough time to work on it. If you can run "ps aux" and share the relevant StoreID helpers lines it would help to understand how significant it is. For most systems couple MB of RES\RSS memory is fine but if it grows over time or for some reason consumes lots of memory you should rethink\re-design the helper.

It is "sort of a bug" -- Squid should not start store_id_program (and many other helpers!) for some kids. Many Squid features are not made SMP-aware yet, and features that "work fine" in SMP mode are often ignored by developers and their sponsors. Quality patches welcome! Ideally, workers should even be able to share helper processes, but that is a huge change compared to simply not starting unnecessary helpers. > May be it should be started only for "worker" or only for "disk"? Yes, only for "worker" IIRC: Diskers do not deal with HTTP, and Store ID is an HTTP-request-to-Store-ID translator.
