Hmmm... Thats definetely an overstatement and misleading.
Sure if you throw infinite processing power and RAM you can achieve
anything.
Overhead of the LVS code is definetly a contributor. Has anyone done
profiling on the LVS code?
To store the tables for thousands of connections means using up relatively
more RAM.
So yes, LVS code has everything to do with it.
