Nick,
Of course, but the server condenses all of the paths it learns at the XP to just one path per prefix learned at the XP, thus significantly reducing the load on the router: now the router has several times fewer paths to choose from and store in memory.
The amount of saving depends entirely on the average number of paths per destination at the XP. Perhaps some empirical data in this area would help to quantify the possible gain. Yakov.
