On a link containing only routers, you can safely increase the MTU to

What I noticed a few years ago was that BGP convergence time was faster with higher MTU.
Full BGP table load took twice less time on MTU 9192 than on 1500.
Of course BGP has to be allowed to use higher MTU.

Anyone else observed something similar?
