>You need to limit your ACLs because the more ACLs your CPU usage will go up.
No, the total number of ACLs affects memory but not CPU.
The number of lines in each ACL affects CPU.
Depending on platform and switching mode, adding access-lists at ALL
is the main impact on performance and CPU.
But saying you need to limit your ACL's because usage will go up
doesn't make sense. If you have a legitimate need for the functions
that the ACLs perform, and your CPU isn't fast enough, you need to
get a router with a faster CPU. The ACLs are there for a business
reason. The only justification for the router is to meet business
requirements. There's no value to conserving a resource just for the
sake of conserving it.
