If all three peers send big updates at the same time gated 's memory usage approaches around 32 meg. Gated itself shouldn't hamper performance (unless of course there is some config problems as mentioned) as it just manages the routing tables and plays no part in the actual forwarding of packets. It is only fair to mention that our 3 T1's saturated is less than half the bandwidth of saturated switched 10 mbit.
