On the aggregation server layer, it's not that heavy, but if you lower
this significantly, you are potentially creating smaller packages,
hence more pps, hence more CPU in forwarding, all over the network.

Interestingly enough, I've seen a case where this first and foremost
affected the CPE of residential users, resulting in their forwarding
rate going down (cheap SOHO routers).
