I use pfBlockerNG and various other blocking lists loaded as URL Table Aliases. 
 I found (back with 2.1.x?) that the "Firewall Maximum Table Entries" under 
"System -> Advanced -> Firewall/NAT" tab needs to be set much higher than the 
number of entries you actually have (e.g., try at least double).

Unless you're very tight on memory, it's safer to overdo it.  E.G., in addition 
to enabling some (maybe 40%?) of the countries in pfBlockerNG, I also have over 
a half million other entries and use a setting of 4M (it was failing at 3.5M 
IIRC).
