http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale is pretty comprehensive
for the unless you are interested in coding on the SMP features, even
this it is the required reading.

Pay attention to the "What_can_workers_share?" section details, and
"Troubleshooting" and check of any of the known issues are relevant to
your proxy before using workers in production. Most of them have
workarounds but we are not widely publishing those due to the rather
fluid nature of the config hacks requried. A post here asking about
particualr issues will usually get a response.

Do you have a very large cache? if the workers take too long to load
they may have trouble registering with the coordinator process to
retrieve the listening socket details.

cache.log might have more info to assist with debugging.
