Not really. There is only one packed entry per unique NPC unit id. Not players. About 100 bytes per unit. Say you moused over 1000 NPCs, you would be using 100K. If you have a moderately fast PC with 4 gigs+ RAM, you would probably not even notice 10000 NPCs, which is probably the entire games worth of them.
