The main squid is only one process. Squid also starts some external
processes, like unlinkd. For DNS lookup, squid starts yet more
processes. You can control the number of DNS processes with the
dns_children directive in /etc/squid.conf. You cannot get rid of
unlinkd.
If you are using reidrectors or authentication, these will also
spawn shild processes. You can control them in squid.conf.
