Hummm, so something in the router goes "poof" and the old access list is
removed and all new access list commands are enabled in exactly the same
microsecond??? ;)
My point is that even with TFTP the commands have to be parsed and then
processed in order. This is where the delay comes in. Again, compare the
delay to a Telnet session "paste" and the difference is negligible.

No, the file is downloaded in its entirety, then parsed, then processed
in order. TFTP will not die because rules are applied _after_ the router
has the full file. It has nothing to do with some Cisco magick which
allows all the old rules to be removed and all new rules to be enabled
in a single clock cycle.
Cheers,
Chris
