 Actually if you see process switching only, you're pretty safe, all
traffic that you handle in CPU should be destined to you, which should
mean process switching. Hardware processed traffic doesn't appear in
the counters you mention.

 What SDM profile are you running? How many MAC addresses? How many routes?
Do you have ACL's, if so what do they contain (log statement, lot of
port ranges?).

 What IOS are you running? Can you upgrade to 12.2(25)SED1 (if you do,
remember that it's standard MST since SEC or so)
