For my large pool of load-balanced caches, I rebuilt squid using the
custom logging patch, so Squid sends access events to a remote loghost
via syslog, let the team in charge of the log server deal with issues
like retention and disk space :)

With that approach, I chose to disable the local cache_access and
cache_store logging entirely to save disk I/O and CPU time, but you
might want to just rotate the local logs quickly so you have a few
hours on-box for debugging purposes.
