With the way the new estate systems works, some of this will be mitigated for 
established regions that are part of your realm. If you can get your estates set 
up properly, they will help increase production and reduce independence in a 
region. This should greatly ease the bureaucratic workload.

It will, of course, also make frehsly taken land harder to control...
