What type of ipset did you create, perhaps hash:ip where individual
addresses are listed?  If so, consider switching to hash:net which
uses CIDR style entries.  Individual addresses become 1.2.3.4/32
but blocks can be included with a single entry.  My ipset has about
40,000 entries, but covers millions of IP addresses.

If you do switch look on the net for a program called "cidrmerge".
It takes a list of IP addresses and CIDR networks, sorts them
and merges multiple entries into a single network where possible.
