Having Insta bookmarks sitting there will cause you lag. Destroy them all, its good for the soul.
Why doesnt ccp remove them?
Exacly. Why not delete the instas when the cluster is down, one player at a time instead of trying to do it while 10000 people are trying to log on?

Because the number of bookmarks over the entire playerbase would be impossible to check against gate locations in anything resembling a downtime.
They could easily remove all bookmarks but then that would remove all the tactical bookmarks like sniper spots, safespots, insta-undocks etc. That wouldn't be a good thing.
Yeah, I meant instas only of course. Other bookmarks are essential to keep. But when you have a super performance cluster like ccp does, in the top 400 of the worlds super computers, then you would think that it would be pretty capable of running a database delete even if its a bit slow for normal computers. 
You could just store the locations of all the gates in memory in a hashtable, then compare the bookmark coordinates to those locations. Should be pretty quick?
Of course I really dont know much about it, im just assuming it could be made to work... :)

It would take over 700 hours. There was a dev post about it.
Total number of BM in the database was quoted at 280 million.
Sounds extreme. With 120.000 accounts, thats 2333 bookmarks per person in average. WTF?

Sounds reasonable. I know lots of people with more than that many BMs. Personally I had around 1000, even with the clearout, I've still got a few hundred safespots and scanpoints.
Its scary tbh. I wouldnt mind if they just deleted the entire bookmark table... I can remake my safespots etc.
