I assumed, it is a matter of ACL number. I can have 10 ACLs or 1 ACL in the squid. But I don't know, how squid does handle this internally, so you may be right and it doesn't matter anyway.
Sure, I want to permit only the allowed IPs on the proxy, but it is also a matter of performance. We have about 7600 IP ACLs, which could be reduced by compacting them to lager subnets.
