The SUP720 is grossly underpowered (600MHz, MIPS) in the 
control plane department. We've found it to be quite slow 
in some cases as well.

Cisco's new RSP720 (only for the 7600 platform) is beefier 
(1.2GHz, PPC). But we haven't used it, so I can't comment 
on how much better it is in the field.

Cheers,

Mark.
