Hi,

While PPC is clearly slower than x86 stuff, the problem is that JunOS should 
have never been compiled for this architecture. I suppose/hope that the product 
manager who took such decision is now in a madhouse.

As Saku Ytti wrote in NANOG ML in 2014 (when comparing Cisco 6500/7600 and 
MX80/104):
« if we compare MX80 and RSP720, where RSP720 has slightly lower performance 
CPU, RSP720 out-performs MX80 (and MX104) in BGP convergence and BGP scale. »
