The numbers I heard was around 30% increased install speed to the FIB in 
16.1 and long-term target about 10-15x increased install speed from 15.x 
on the MX. Please note that these are numbers some SE casually mentioned 
(and no details on linecards/REs) so take them with a grain of salt, but 
with 15x increased FIB install rate you'll be able to load the full 
table to FIB in less than 10 seconds. I got no idea if these numbers 
only applies for installing new entries to the FIB or also for 
updating/deleting entries as well.
