Toad I already agreed on irc not to put this in without your ok.  Stating that
something is bad without testing it is not the way to improve things.  You 
are worried that my changes (and NG) will be biased towards cached connections.
Fine.  I will extract the part of my changes that instruments routing, without
changing it so we can see just what bias my code introduces - if any.
Once we have measured things _then_ we can decide if the changes are a 
good thing.

That brings up an interesting point.  How do we measure the efficiently of 
routing.  What metrics would make sense to track and why?
