I've got 3550-48's that are mostly routed interfaces, pushing decent
amounts of traffic at 1-3% CPU.  show int stats looks bad, but it looks
the same on a 3550 with no routed interfaces...so I don't know if the
output can be trusted.  Bottom line is, the switches are working with
mostly routed interfaces...just don't tell them they shouldn't be :)
