I don't have a definitive answer, but there are facts that come into play that you haven't revealed. First of all, there is no definitive answer. What you are looking for is a "Yeah, it'll work fine" or a "You'll run into serious problems". That depends alot on what you're doing with the line and the router. - If you are handling 90% ftp and http traffic, the cpu delay won't matter. If you are running VoIP or VidoIP, that delay could put you over the recommended limit and effect quality. - If the utilization of the line is low, the extra queuing probably won't matter. If you are overloaded the bandwidth, queuing becomes critical. - If the router is just routing packets, and hence has low cpu utilization, the extra cycles won't be missed. If it's running BGP, NAT, and auditing, you'll probably hit a snag.
And you also didn't specify what kind of access list it was. Extended access lists use alot more processor cycles than standard lists. All this being said, I find it hard to beleive that the list cannot be adjusted to optimize it a bit. I assume you have taken a look at the "show ip access-list" command to see what rules are getting hit the most. If you need help optimizing it, post the output for that command here and we can help.
