Paul's statement about CEF is interesting. It's probably the first public statement I've ever heard where someone was praising CEF. Usually discussions about CEF are accompanied by liberal amounts of swearing...
Just my anecdotal 2 cents: 2@Cisco 4000M, 4 T1's, load balanced. 5 meg of IP traffic, no filters. no ip cef - 90% CPU - router on its' knees ip cef - 40% router alive and kicking Other than the memery overhead CEF adds to BGP, CEF is painless, and worthwhile.
