Re: 20402 routing entries

It seems that some folks PERSISENTLY missed the point. The clock is
ticking. The only way to slow down the clock is by reducing the volume
of routing information (via CIDR). Nothing else is going to stop or
slow down the clock. The clock cares less whether "the results are slow
in coming" or why they are "slow in coming". And, by the way, when the
clock handle hits the mark there is going to be a massive crash.

But even in the best of circumstances, all CIDR does is slow the
RPM of the clock from 10 to 2, and over time it goes to 10 again.
Hey Tony, what about that 1024MB cpu :-)?
