I think you should file a bug report

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi

so that this can be actioned/tracked.  I don't have squid 3.4.8 running
yet, but a friend forwarded his experience after only 6 days of light use:

last pid: 43552;  load averages:  0.34,  0.23,  0.18  up 5+22:34:12    06:01:32
245 processes: 1 running, 244 sleeping

Mem: 483M Active, 6021M Inact, 1581M Wired, 371M Cache, 1636M Buf, 7394M Free
Swap: 32G Total, 1104M Used, 31G Free, 3% Inuse


  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME    WCPU COMMAND
 6095 squid         1  20    0   738M 63044K kqread  7   2:12   0.00% squid
73487 squid         1  20    0   326M  7548K kqread  3   0:15   0.00% squid
