I don't recall the size of the CI's variable table object (maybe ~2MB),
but it is large enough to hold approx 8,000 CI variables.

The entries in the variable table are variable length. So, if you use
shorter variable names and shorter string values you can create more
variables.
A Boolean variable needs one byte for each character in the name, 1 byte
for the Boolean value, and several overhead bytes.

Interesting question.  Short of PM debug I don't know.  Are you running
into limits here?
