Has anyone had any experience with using PACLs on the 4500 series switches? I'd like to apply an acl that denies inbound icmp on a large percentage of switch ports, but I'm unsure about how this will affect overall switch performance.

There will be no impact to forwarding performance. The traffic due to icmp would be reduced - saving cpu of destination devices and reducing bw utilization by the extra traffic. The reason is that ACL processing in done in hardware (follow configuration guidelines).
