[j-nsp] MX RE how fast is slow

[Dusan Avbreht]

Hi,

On MX80 you have PowerPC for RE on other bigger MX you have Intel base RE.
10-15 minutes for rib-groups - no way it must be something wrong! Did you
check RE status, error messages,
check on "show chassis routing-engine"  how much memory you have utilize!
and with "show system virtual-memory" which process utilize most!

Cheers,
Dusan
