Any extra instructions executed while forwarding a packet take away from
the overall performance. The IP accounting feature as it is presently
implemented tries to be as efficient as possible without doing anything
extra. One can perform tests against the router with and without IP
accounting enabled to see what the performance ramifications are.

Allow me to restate my question, has anyone at cisco or elsewhere performed
these tests ?
