I have added 40+ devices, and system became bit slow.
Can we know which thread IPS sensor/Device thread is consuming more resources?

I would add them until collection slows down, and then add a second forwarder. We don't have several dozen Cisco IPS's, but in other API-based data collection tasks the slow-down point is somewhere between 10 and 30 devices.

I'd use a search like this to find your connections, then pipe it through transaction, then use stats. You might have to eval to find elapsed time.
