I guess I should clarify that a bit ;-)

Remember that routing/switching vendors have a hardware fast path.  The
signalling or routing protocol packets are the only traffic that go to the
route/switch processor.  Protocol developers look for features of the IP
stack not neccessarily speed.  If the IP stack doesn't provide enough features
why use it?
