Mmmmh, I'm not sure I agree to that - we use the RS because it saves
us the hassles of maintaining 300+ BGP sessions with lots of small peers,
so "human life time" plus "router CPU" is more a factor.  

Offloading the BGP decision process is a side effect - with sometimes 
undesired results, in which case we add direct sessions to reclaim
control.  But usually, for those 300 smaller peers, "it just gets things
done".
