The optimal number depends on the type of redirector used and the 
request load. If your redirector is only using CPU time then not very 
many is needed, but if the redirector is doing database queries or 
other operations which may temporarily block the redirector process 
then more is needed. Also, the higher your request load is the more 
processes you need due to the design of Squid.

cachemgr can be used to figure out how well balanced your number of 
redirectors are. If you find that all redirectors are used a lot then 
you have too few, if you find that there is redirectors never used 
then you may have too many.
