The performance hit is likely to be when trapd is started.  He reads the
entire trapd.conf file into a memory structure.  Once there, access is as
fast as we can make it.  Your file is bigger than any I have worked with
but I don't think you will see a porblem.

Is there any limit to the size of the trapd.conf file?

Having added 75% of the Microsoft trap definitions that our support team
would like to monitor I notice that my trapd.conf file went from 440Kb to
1.36Mb!!

I am sure that this will have some sort of perfromance hit on trapd but I
just wondered if anything else was likely to be affected.

Thanks
