The helpers should not notice any difference from what I know and have experienced. However, maybe your helper tries to use /dev/tty for some reason. Helpers should not use /dev/tty, but this is the only possible difference I can estimate between daemon mode and no daemon mode. Helpers should only use stdin/stdout/stderr (stderr for error logging only). Minor note: The RunCache scripts run Squid in no-daemon mode by using the -N command line flag to Squid. The default is to run in daemon mode.
