http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/status/

3668 good/required prefixes
Minimum of 271 prefixes (-3397)
Average of 5322 prefixes (+1654)
Maximum of 5917 prefixes (+2249)

As you can see, some folks seem to carry HALF of the table EXTRA than
they need.... let alone that poor ISP which is carrying almost 2/3s
more, I don't have time to check into it, but I wonder how much junk is
in there....

Having more routes does not mean that the routes are useful... far from
actually...
