Not very.  But routing-table slots to point to them are a bit more costly,
depending on who's doing your routing and how close they are to any fixed
limits in their software :-(.  In the long run, it would probably be best
for you to get a class-B network number -- sometimes easier said than done,
alas -- and subnet it.
