The performance impact depens on what features you configure. If you stay within the right set of features there sould be no performance impact enabling ACLs AFAIK. Probably the most important thing is to avoid traffic using a software path. For the 6500/6000 you can look here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a00804916e0.shtml#acl http://www.tinyurl.dk/2564 The same basic rules apply if you are running a Supervisor 7600. And I guess the RSP works much the same way too.
