Are you sure that's forwarding table size, not routing table size?
There are lots of platforms that will have large RIB but a lot smaller
FIB.

"HP 6600 Router Series"
"Routing table size 1000000 entries (IPv4), 300000 entries (IPv6)
Forwarding table size 1000000 entries (IPv4), 100000 entries (IPv6)"
I don't know if there is a typo somewhere, but it shows the difference
between RIB and FIB.
