Do you have any data about how much processing this requires?
No.
Recognizing the originator ID can happen very early when expensive actions such as applying prefix lists and route maps and inserting in the RIB haven't happened yet, so the impact of doing this could be fairly negligible.
Could be. Then again, there's NO way that it can me more efficient then having not received the updates - from a system state perspective. Further, those updates are multiplied by the number of RRs and handled in the same processing path as ALL other updates, so operators should be concerned about this.
(Then again, a Pentium200 can do hundreds of megabytes of MD5 hashing but somehow enabling MD5 on BGP sessions takes a good bit of toll on many route processors.)
