bigger pool takes longer load time?

[Brad Dameron]

This is related to how DHCP loads the leases into memory. If you look at
some previous emails from me you will see a change in the source code
that can be made that drops this load time down to 5 seconds or less.
This is based off the 3.1.x code release.
