I believe dropping is also preferable if you need more performance and 
bandwidth capacity although I'm not sure sending RST cost CPU time on 
ASA platform.


 

Correct, each packet you schedule takes up a certain amount of bandwidth & cpu 
resources, though it'll be comparably small. Still that bandwidth & cpu power 
will most likely be cheaper than the additional troubleshooting complexity you 
get by dropping.

But as the introductary poster already stated, everyone has their own idea 
about this subject. I'm with the reject crew, that's the way tcp is meant to 
work.
