Can Andrian and Joshua explain what they specifically mean, and how they expect it to perform over what Steffann is already doing (e.g. load https://nms/cfg/router.txt)? How much faster will it be, and why?
Can Steffan explain how large a file they are copying, over what protocol, how long does it take, and how long does the commit take. We used to have configurations in excess of a million lines before 'or-longer' halved them, and we've seen much longer times than 30min to get a new config pushed+commtited. We use FTP and while the FTP does take its sweet time, the commit itself is very long as well. I refrain from expressing my disillusionment with the utility of doing IRR based filtering.
