In regards to the discussion regarding " 
draft-ietf-rtgwg-spf-uloop-pb-statement" I am quoted as saying:

" Les: most of the analysis that I am aware of -
the largest contributor is the control plane."

In actuality what I said (or at least intended to say :-) ) was that the 
largest contributor is the data plane (NOT the control plane).

The point of the exchange between Bruno and myself was to emphaisze the point 
that demonstrating the real world benefits of the standardized backoff 
algorithm should include cases where forwarding plane update speeds are 
different on different nodes in the topology. It is possible that better 
synchronization of  the control plane execution times (which is what use of a 
consistent backoff algorithm is likely to provide) may not mean much in cases 
where forwarding plane update speeds are significantly different on different 
nodes and/or when forwarding plane update speeds consume much more time than 
the control plane SPF/RIB updates. The latter case is quite common.
