actually, the formal rpki-based origin-validation stuff is measured
to take *less* cpu, a lot less, than ACLs
On the platforms which really matter in terms of rPKI, ACLs are
handled in hardware, so this is pretty much a wash.

really?  it was measured on a GSR.  full check on a prefix, 10usec.
that's microseconds.

as chris pointed out, though, one pays for having the data in the trie,
i.e. in ram.  but not a lot.
