Do I risk problems with a lengthy URI redirect

I am wondering how long can an Irule be without running into problems. I have this rule below that can get two or three times this long. Is that ok? Is it written ok? thanks   when HTTP_REQUEST...

The irule should work just fine without any issue in an average site, but I am not sure about the performance impact in very heavy traffic environments.

 

Anyway, I wouldn't use such a code with a switch testing, I would rather use datagroups to define my uri:pool pairs. This will lead to a very small irule, an easy to manage and maintain mappings (from the GUI), and an important performance gain.
