[nsp] IP Cache ager

I have a busy-ish router or three, one of which seems to be mostly
busy with a process called "IP Cache Ager" (sometimes peaking at 70%
of CPU). I'm running NetFlow on it, & just for comparison (with about 60
or 70 BGP peers and 30-40Mb/s of data running through it):

mae-east1#show proc cpu
CPU utilization for five seconds: 70%/11%; one minute: 24%; five minutes: 23%
 PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process
  32 92979364 414543 224301 55.16% 7.13% 6.75% 0 IP Cache Ager
  26 25452492 24575081 1035 2.20% 2.33% 2.30% 0 IP Input
  52 14551796 12204107 1192 0.31% 0.38% 0.31% 0 BGP Router
  54 12516004 192218 65114 0.00% 0.98% 0.82% 0 BGP Scanner

7507 running rsp-pv-mz.111-12.CA1.bin

It's still a reasonably happy bunny, but I worry about putting too
much more data through it if these figures are accurate.

Any ideas?
