[nsp] 6500 CPU load (Supervisor memory?)

[Stephen J. Wilcox]

icky, your Sup2 is barfing.. thro some more memory at it.. heres a helpful
command (i'm assuming your using native here), dont forget you have two cpus and
two sets of memory and when you type cmds they only pull info on the msfc

remote command switch sh proc mem
