how much memory does increasing max rules for IPFW take up?

I had a box run out of dynamic state space yesterday.  I found I can  
increase the number of dynamic rules by increasing the sysctl  
parameter net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max.  I can't find, however, how this  
affects memory usage on the system.  Is it dyanamically allocated and  
de-allocated, or is it a static memory buffer?

Thanks!
