Subject:	Access Security Config File (ACF) size?

Does anyone have a feel for how large an ACF could be without becoming problematic?

Considering an extreme example, if one had ~100000 PVs, and one defined an ASG for each PV, would that be a problem?

How big do ACF’s get in the wild?

Are there strategies for using multiple ACF’s?
