James, I think the difference Mark may have in mind that iBGP routes say from RR are advertised from RR's control plane. Many RRs today are just x86 control plane boxes with no forwarding. On the other hand number of implementations before sending route over eBGP must make sure that those routes are installed in data plane locally before being advertised. Of course non of this really matters if those routes are already installed when you trigger advertisements to UUT. There are also few more little "delays" for eBGP vs iBGP depending on your BGP code base - regarding policy processing or origin validation :).
