There could be issues with the 50% rule with Frame Relay circuits where the CIR is much lower than the interface bandwidth. In a hub and spoke arrangement if the hub decides to use 50% of its bandwidth for updates then it would saturate the lower bandwidth links. There is a command "ip bandwidth-percent eigrp" to tune usage. See "EIGRP Network Design Solutions" by Ivan Pepelnjak (Cisco Press) for details.
