one could rightly argue you're using "the new features" if you're using 
BGP at all... the changes have really made a difference in the last 12 
months with all that growth in table size we're seeing again, and 
arguably have extended the life of some of the slower processor units if 
they have to deal with large views.  memory aside, of course :)
