woods () weird com (Greg A. Woods) tapped some keys and produced:

In practical terms I suppose it also depends on just exactly what 
filtering technology you've deployed, and just exactly how close it is 
to being overloaded.  If you are already pushing your router's CPU too 
hard (and if your filters are done by your router's CPU rather than an 
ASIC) then obviously reducing your filter load will be in your own best 
interests and not filtering destination addresses against RFC-1918 will 
be one relatively benign way of reducing the filter load.  However if 
your router's CPU is only partially utilised now (even if you push your 
pipe to capacity), then adding such destination filters won't hurt 
anyone.

Would routing them to Null0 not be more optimal?
