RHEL3 / NFA 5.5 - IP groups and performance

I have seen a few posts regarding the performance of NFA with many IP groups.

I am looking to use this product for the management and monitoring (and indeed billing) of bandwidth over 4096 IP addresses, shared between approximately 150 clients.

This means I plan on defining 150 IP groups. Each group will have between 4 and 256 IP addresses. Mostly they are allocted in logical blocks (e.g. /30 or /27 blocks), but approximately 30 IP groups are non-sequential scatterings of IP addresses that need to be grouped.

Is this configuration likely to have a large performance impact?

Many thanks
