jayesh,

load_gws() function is not trivial.  it needs to goes linearly through
all entries in lcr table (that involves a regexec function call for each
entry) and then for each matching entry, it needs to go linearly through
all gws.  after finding a list of matching gws, it sorts and randomizes
them, removes duplicates, and does stripping.

all this eats cpu resources.  i have many times mentioned on this list
that lcr module with its current functionality has not been intended to
huge numbers of lcr/gateway entries.

nevertheless you are welcome to read the code and suggest optimizations
it there are some to be found.
