Are you sure? Ive never seen an update to remove routes take 3min. 

Andy, are you sure the 3min outage was  after the link hard down and not just prior? Guessing this is easy to find due to time stamps. Ive seen this due to line protocol down and everything blackholes until bgp fails but never a 3mim wait for route withdraw (unless this is a peering router with dozens of peers and full routes on each)

Hope you fins root cause
