In which regards?  BGP convergence, general stuff, or "just the filesystem
annoyance"?  Curious, because I haven't seen anything as fast for BGP as
the ASR9k yet ("session up to full table loaded" in less than 45 seconds),
but I have no experience with ASR1k.

Why MX104 got a PPC based RE to start with, and got a different form
factor so MX240 REs wouldn't fit, is one of the deep mysteries I'm not
sure I ever want to know more about.
