        Unless you have other data to support, the fact that a box takes
        almost the same amount of time to load a 458 line config as
        a 169 liner does not at all lead to your conclusion above.  
        Try to load a config file of size in MGs and see if it increases 
        the loading period.  

        (BTW, in case you wonder, there are providers who have such large 
        configuration files running on routers.)
