    Hi Teppo, I ran this question by one of the event engine developers.  SL1 Trap event processing includes a pre-filter for OID.  

    If you are adding 800 new event policies each with a different OID, a new trap received for one of those policies is just a single lookup and doesn't add any extra load. 

    If you are adding 800 policies using the same OID with different matching rules, that would add the load Tony described.  All 800 polices would be searched for a match for every trap including that OID.

    Regards,
