Of course this depends on how much traffic you are pushing through the
router, what interfaces are installed, whether your upstreams are
dampening route churn and to what extent, how many views, etc. In
short there are plenty of factors that enter into this, too many to be
too general.

As a very rough rule of thumb, if your one minute CPU average is less
than 50% and you have more than 40 megs of free memory (and it's not
fragmented), it is very unlikely that you are experiencing memory or
cpu shortage.
