Not true. We have just three full BGP views and with 256MB RAM on a M5 the box
started swapping heavily, to the point that a "commit" took 2 minutes and a
BGP route change took 5 minutes to be seen in the "show route" output. But at
least the box survived because it swapped, a Cisco can not swap :-)
