Depends on the platform. On a 6500 MSFC3 - barely breaking a sweat at
3.3K. Even in moments of instability - it's no big deal.

drKVM1>sh ip route sum
IP routing table name is Default-IP-Routing-Table(0)
Route Source Networks Subnets Overhead Memory (bytes)
connected 1 53 3456 8640
static 0 0 0 0
eigrp 49 6 3326 421120 533120
internal 22 25960
Total 29 3379 424576 567720
