FYI,

If you get a CF card that has significantly higher r/w performance 
compared to the ones Juniper uses, don't write them on production 
routers.  It consumes 100% CPU and makes the RE scheduler go nuts. 
All other processes are basically halted for quite a while during the 
write.  There's JTAC case on this but as the card is unsupported and 
they don't see the problem on their cards, it's closed.

I've added this to:
