Good work. My intituition is that the benefits will outway the costs. Keep in mind that this is the third significant change that has happended recently, so it might be hard to judge whether it is working or not by looking at the performence of the public network. Other changes: 0) maxRoutingSteps increased 1) overload triaging turned off. --gj p.s.
