If you do a "sh proc cpu", there must be a list of processes and what each
of them is doing. Perhaps what you would want to do is have a look at each
of these processes, and see which of them is using too many CPU cycles. You
can then eye-ball that individual process as it runs on the router, and make
appropriate modifications to its configuration.
