I don't think hold down timers prevent triggered updates from taking effect
immediately.  Once the route is poisoned, the hold down timers prevent a
router from marking route as back up for xx seconds.  I think the exception
to that is if a route comes in that is better than the one that was
originally poisoned out, it will be accepted - regardless of the status of
the hold down timer.

Try taking the route out and putting it back up right away.  See how long it
takes before it shows back up.
