I would certainly reconsider soft-reconfig if its holding that much memory.
I
mean, weigh the options... Do you change your inbound policy that often to
where you need to keep soft reconfig enabled on all your peers? If so, then
I would upgrade to 256M. If not, I would keep it at 128M and just use soft
reconfig where its necessary....
