RE: PF with lotsa LFs

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If they can be designed to share data paths, the overhead isn't so bad.
Usually, with that many LF's there will be many with the same or close to
the same key structure.  You just have to be very meticulous about the order
in which they are created  and restored.
