Sergio,

I'm not sure what you mean by "routing changes." There certainly are vast
quantities of changes involving relatively small changes in delay and
even uncomfortable quantites involving significant (factor of two) changes.
Not many of these involve changes in route, however. While the situation
is serious and must be fixed, I don't think the routing overhead itself
is a significant factor in performance. Hellograms are rate-limited to
no more than one every 400 ms in even the worst case.

Let's hear it for all those gated's honking strange distances to the
fuzzies. Can someone answer the questions I put out about their behavior?
