Right.  As I've mentioned previously, the redistribution code in babeld is
very primitive:

  1. the code makes a full route dump whenever something changes and
     computes the difference, rather than receiving incremental deltas
     from the kernel;
  2. it uses a quadratic algorithm to compute the difference.

It's very low on my todo list (I've got way too much unmerged code
already), but I'll be glad to accept patches to fix either of these.
