That's weird, then - with proper hashing, the total number of filter rules should not affect CPU load too much, since only very few of the filters actually have to be traversed. Maybe it's caused by something else, or the hashing does not work as expected. > now i have a question about this, too. to me it's not clear how these filters > are looked up. Good question. Actually I can't answer it properly. For my filters, the order either did not really matter or I had few enough of them to use the priority parameter to order them properly.
