What IOS image?  What RSPs/IPs/VIPs/PAs are you using specifically?  If 
any VIPs, are you seeing 99% CPU on the RSP, on the VIPs, or multiple 
places?  What default CEF mode are you using?  What are the top tasks in 
"sh proc c s | exc 0.0.%"?  What are you seeing for 
interrupt/non-interrupt short-term CPU?
