I don't, but I'm approaching a time to start doing so. I don't like the
perceived slowdown of compressed configs, and have boxes running low
on NVRAM (thanks in part to SNMP ifIndex persistence, but that's very
worthwhile to me). If I get any more BGP customers on one particular
box, I'll likely have to shift to using flash (or compress-config).
At NANOG34, Jared Mauch indicated his employer (Verio) has some routers
with configs approaching (or possibly exceeding) 8MB. They
prefix-filter all peers, and obviously those configs can get mighty long
(I'm fairly certain that Verio is all Juniper, FWIW though).
