700,000 routes in the control plane, as far as I know. Let me share my experience. SRX650 cluster, max routes somewhere along that 700k number you gave. I was taking four feeds, giving me somewhere around 1.6M routes. It technically took all of them, but it took 20 minutes to failover all of those routes to another interface. The box was way overloaded and caused major headaches. It would do things like say next hop unavailable etc, this was because the forwarding plane still was pointing the route to the downed interface, while the control plane was already looking to the backup.
