The current implementation may be too simple for so many. They are stored
in a simple linear linked-list, so there may be too much time spent
traversing the list. It will depend on how busy your cache is.

Also it may break the config file parsing. Each ACL name must
(currently) be written on one line, which should not be longer than
1024 characters.
