When we used to run XR 12000's back in the day under IOS 12.0, I was
amazed by this.

The CPU ran at 100% and logged "CPU hog" forever, but neither IS-IS, BGP
nor LDP sessions (90% of which had full BGP feeds) ever dropped.

Still amazes me today, especially when pings and SSH access to the
routers was sluggish as mad...
