compare 'sh route a.b.c.d/n' with 'sh cef a.b.c.d/n'. It looks like the low ip 
ranges are processed first (TAC confirmed this), so looking at a high ip number 
shows it best.

the BU found, that the rib process on the RP finishes the updates after ca. 1s. 
Then comes the bcdlv2 process that takes the updates and does the bulk download 
to the LC. Here the queue is served too slow. They're currently working to find 
out, what is slowing this down. But this is a moving target and the working 
hypothesis may change again ...
