I agree, except that it fixed the issues we were seeing. I hadn't heard of disabling CEF as an actual fix for a problem for many many years... then we saw it here with the 1921's and various IPSec scenarios.

I'm not surprised. I'm amazed TAC would even suggest it.

Disabling CEF on modern IOS isn't sensible. The slower code paths don't 
get properly tested any more, and whole (large) chunks of functionality 
only exist as CEF code.
