rancid at george:~$ time ~/bin/mtlogin -c "export" myrouter > /dev/null

real	0m48.548s
user	0m0.060s
sys	0m0.024s

and in test with a stopwatch,

(doing ssh -i my_ident myuser at myrouter, then issuing export by hand)

give or take 36s lag has been encountered
after first 8s of running. Give or take because there were a few of them
and not exactly sure how to catch...

hope this helps,
