With a healthy dose of complex commit scripts you can get an MX commit
time up to 20 seconds in no time flat. Well at least you could, I
noticed they did something in 9.6 to make it a lot faster (at least for
me, with commit sync, etc). EX on the other hand can get to a 30 sec
config with half the number of commit scripts and a much smaller config.
Of course if you really want suffering try SRX, which takes 30 seconds
to commit a nearly blank config. :)
