I've no direct answers to your questions. But I have had run a 3560G 
with about a dozen layer 3 interface and a few ACLs in "desktop vlan" 
mode. There wasn't any log message about it. But the performance wasn't 
very good (seemed traffic couldn't get faster than 50MBit/s) and the cpu 
usage was near 80% peaks all the time. Even if there was nearly no 
traffic the cpu usage was about 30%.
After switching to "desktop access" performance became much better. The 
cpu usage stays under 10% even with 100MBit/s of routed traffic.
