An example of the scaling problem using quagga (old but still seems to 
be a relevant data point):

 
https://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-users/2010-February/011351.html

"2k VRFs that would be 2.6G"

And that does not include the overhead of each namespace -- roughly 
200kB/namespace on one kernel I checked (v3.10). So that's a ballpark of 
3G of memory.
