Maybe it was OS specific.  I set the interval between updates to zero and
watch the load average climb.  I see you said 1 second.  You put in zero
and it didn't let you do that?  Good code then.

Ok, for sure, though, I know the routers don't like zero second intervals.
At least up to 1 year ago. Been there, done that... ;-)  I've been on a
Foundry network this past year, so I don't know about the current IOS.
