The major areas squid.conf can boost performance is in features supported by Squid. So if you're not going to use ICP, HTCP, or other such items, turn them off (usually done by setting the port to 0).
You can optimize your acls by ordering them to minimize the number of rules that have to be processed, but on a modern machine that's splitting hairs. Modern machines have such a ridiculous excess of CPU cycles (which are used to process the acls) - the bigger bottlenecks tend to be disk and network I/O and (to a lesser extent) memory.
