Within 2 minutes of defining TMS on a Cisco 7500 (IOS 12.0(21)S4) I 
received the following errors:

May 14 13:08:49: %SCHED-3-THRASHING: Process thrashing on watched message 
event.
-Process= "SSH Process", ipl= 6, pid= 32

and then the errors messages stopped.

You turn it on via a single command:
ip cef accounting non-recursive

You can then see stats aggregated per prefix via the little known system 
files Cisco maintains at:

more system:/vfiles/tmstats_ascii

Example:

...etc...

I just don't see how TMS should affect ssh.  Any clues?
