One solution that is available on 6500s and 7600s in newer code is Selective 
Route Download.
There are a lot of deaggregates in the table.  Depending on the location of the 
device in the
Routing path and where those routes point you can remove a lot of deaggregates.
This helps with RAM utilization as well.  We are in the process of deploying it 
to devices where
We have downstreams with full tables but only symmetric upstream devices.  Ie. 
Traffic all
goes one direction upstream across multiple identical devices.  This allows us 
to prune a lot.
Where routers actually need to make a decision the amount of pruning is going 
to be a lot less
And you need to have some kind of default.  This works best for deaggregates 
that are far away
Network wise.  Think China for US based or Comcast for Chinese based.

That link is for S code but it is also available in SY.

This will penalise stable prefixes.

Cheers,
