One thing I notice you don't mention is whether your BGP sessions to your upstream providers are direct or multi-hop eBGP. I know for a while some of the more bargain-basement providers were doing eBGP multi-hop feeds for full tables, which will definitely slow down convergence if the routers have

Would be helpful if you let us know what platform you're running on. Assuming a Cisco, make sure next-hop-tracking not disabled (enabled by default on modern IOS), then at "BGP Prefix Independent Convergence", so your BGP process isn't walking the entire RIB to see which next-hops it needs to chang

Hey, This is a complex problems and there are quite a few parts to consider. Let's assume you want to optimize how fast you choose the right best exit after a failure. The opposite ( how fast the internet chooses the best entry point into your network after a failure ) is usually not that easy
