It seems that some folks PERSISENTLY missed the point. The clock is ticking. The only way to slow down the clock is by reducing the volume of routing information (via CIDR). Nothing else is going to stop or slow down the clock. The clock cares less whether "the results are slow in coming" or why they are "slow in coming". And, by the way, when the clock handle hits the mark there is going to be a massive crash.

But even in the best of circumstances, all CIDR does is slow the RPM of the clock from 10 to 2, and over time it goes to 10 again. Hey Tony, what about that 1024MB cpu :-)? henry
