NTLM auth works very differently, and the helpers need to be queried a
lot compared to basic. Basically there is two helper queries per client
TCP connnection.

The closest similar parameter of NTLM auth is the max_challenge_reuses
and max_challenge_lifetime parameters, but again, these are very
different from the basic auth credentialsttl parameter. Also, these
parameters are merely a bandaid to lessen the impact of a slight design
problem in the current Squid NTLM implementation and may go away in a
later Squid release.

Henrik
