this is true Tom.
you may check it with:
# sh mls cef summary

then compare with:
# sh mls cef maximum-routes

and maybe adjust with:
config)# mls cef maximum-routes ipv6 ...
config)# mls cef maximum-routes ip-multicast ...
etc.

if this is suitable for you (in case of vrf lite for example) you may 
use only one label for VRF with this command:
config)# mpls label mode all-vrfs protocol bgp-vpnv4 per-vrf

reducing ~ 400.000 entries (MPLS routes) from TCAM (for every prefix in 
BGP table).
