One is route lookup in the fast forwarding path, and the other is changing the routing table (possibly in the same processor that does forwarding, in a small network). With modern algorithms such as Cisco's patented trie or the Patricia trie, route lookup times do not increase appreciably with the number of routes. Memory increases, but lookup time much less so. The increases in load come from changes to the routing table and consequent changes to the FIB.
