[c-nsp] GEIP+ high CPU

I have seen on some versions of IOS that changing the load-interval from the
default has had a larger effect on performance than you might expect. If you
want to get the last little bit of performance out of the card I'd would
suggest you change it back.

Here is the config. How did you understand that is interrupted switched?

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/0
 bandwidth 10000000
 ip address x.x.x.x.x.  no ip redirects
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip ospf message-digest-key 5 md5 7 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
no ip mroute-cache
 load-interval 30
 negotiation auto
 no cdp enable
 standby 40 ip x.x.x.x
 standby 40 priority 120
 standby 40 preempt
