I agree. There is definitely something else configured on interface or in
other part of config. Some strange access-lists of NetFlow, for example.

I think that when you use DFC and destination if CEF720-enabled module than
there should be no bus usage at all. Or only for netflow packets (i'm not
sure where then being sent to SP).

And you should always use it :)
