I doubt it. We have tried it in setups with no more than 4 OSPF speakers,
including the MAX, and perhaps 4 dozen routes total, with only a few of
them changing more than once every few hours at most. If it can't handle
that....

Memory, sure. Go into diagnostics mode and do a "pools". Or ospfPrivMem
for some OSPF details.
Hehe, or:
sntp -> lonitor SNTP action
Didn't notice that ability to lonitor things before. May be fixed in more
recent revisions, wouldn't know since we can't run them.
No CPU use that I am aware of, because that would probably reveal just
how horrid some things are. Submit it as a feature request as many people
have been doing for years; don't worry, they aren't ignored you just never
hear back on them and nothing requested in such a manner is every
implemented.
