Well, running on real hardware should get you the best performance out of your
hardware, but virtualization is also pretty good these days.
As for memory use, etc..I really don't know how much xorp will need/use
for lots of bgp prefixes.
When you get it set up for performance testing, perhaps we could
run xorp under oprofile (if using Linux), or some other tool to
profile the code and see where best to optimize things.
Thanks,
Ben
