If hashing takes any memory you're doing it wrong, this is stateless
operation with no memory impact and no CPU impact since its done in
hardware.

Are you able to get 1Gbps on any one individual link, if you bring it 
down to only 1 active ae member? And, just to get the obvious question 
out of the way, you aren't congested on the egress port from the Cisco 
are you? :)
