   I dont think the hashes are similar - its the effect into the
   slow path. I was told by someone who tested this on a priicey CISCO
   that they simply die unless capable of a feature called CEF.

I found a description of this thing on Cisco's web site. Amusingly it
seems to contradict itself, it says that the CEF FIB is fully
populated and has a 1-to-1 correspondance to the routing table yet it
says that the first access to some destination is what creates
CEF entries.

Go figure! :-)
