On gated and routing - I've successfully implemented an internet router
with 3 BGP peers over 3 T1's (the routing tables are a little over 50,000
routes now) and it works like a champ. If all three peers send big updates
at the same time gated 's memory usage approaches around 32 meg. Gated
itself shouldn't hamper performance (unless of course there is 
some config problems as mentioned) as it just manages the routing tables
and plays no part in the actual forwarding of packets.

It is only fair to mention that our 3 T1's saturated is less than half
the bandwidth of saturated switched 10 mbit.
