Yes, it is best not to be too greedy, as a little cache does a lot of good, and twice as much only helps a little more at a cost to the misses that begins to erode the virtue very quickly.
I am not sure I am size-adverse, as the data will flow through the first time regardless, disk is cheap and the savings is that much greater. My primary focus would be on the size of the cache directory that must be searched. I hope squid uses a nice hash map with a large, prime number of buckets, or an extensible map! Maybe setting limits to nearby prime numbers will help prod squid in that direction!

NAME
squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper
SYNOPSIS
squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p] [-s]
DESCRIPTION
This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX groups.
-g groupname
Specifies a group name to match.
-p Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd
-s Strip NT domain name component from user names (/ or separated)
EXAMPLES
This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3
external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p
acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1
acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3
NOTES
By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the
source code.

must specify each alias by name.
