Just for the heck of it, I happened to setup gated 3.5.8 on a 2.0.34
system today and fed it "full routes" via an iBGP session from our Cisco
3640 which currently has 3 full views. Result...a P100 with a 13mb gated
process, about 50k routes.

# time netstat -rn | wc -l
15.63user 16.35system 0:32.37elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (104major+15minor)pagefaults 0swaps
49859
# ps aux | grep gated
root 32639 0.2 40.8 13200 12660 p1 S 17:02 0:57 /usr/sbin/gated

Which part of BGP4 will I have trouble with if I keep playing?

Next experiment will be feeding routes to our Cisco and back the other way
via 2 PCs running gated. i.e:

gated <- eBGP -> gated <- iBGP -> Cisco
