We were hit by this on a pair of M7is, after a flap within an upstream caused 
every route to "change".
The poor little RE400 couldn't keep up with both jobs.
They did have 3 full tables to deal with. 2 upstreams, and iBGP between.

Never had a Linux machine do this however.
But they're all at least an order of magnitude faster.
