sh ip ro sum
Add the Networks and Subnets columns from the Total line.  When that value 
gets too close to 256k, it's time to upgrade to a sup720-3bxl.

My sup2's are at 187253 now.  Anyone care to guess how many years of 
usability (in an application requiring full internet routes) they have 
left? :(
