Depends on your system: is it something with 8MHz and 4MBs of RAM?  I
have a router (P2, 133MHz, 24MB).  In daily work it has about 200 rules
and a throughput of ~160KB/s.  Adding 6000 "-s $RANDOMIP -d $RANDOMIP -j
LOG"'s resulted in a throughput of ~100KB/s and a nice system load.

> or its unlimited?

No.  HTH,
 regards, Frank.
