No.  Multiple paths will increment the BGP memory usage, but those
tables are not put into the VIP memory.

Well, that's "number of routes" - but unless you have a high number of
internal routes, the CEF tables for "all Internet routes" (200.000)
are still more in the 64 Mb range.  As displayed by Pete Templin.

How many routes do you have?  How much memory is your VIP *actually* using?
