[c-nsp] Cisco 3750 - strange CPU readings

[Ed Butler - RapidSwitch]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to puzzle out this strange CPU readings on the 3750G. The summary
is as follows, full details are below:

Interupts: 58%
Processes: 24% (total CPU time minus interupt time)
Processes: 9.14% (adding all processes together)

Since the majority of the high CPU usage is caused by interupts, I've
followed the Cisco troubleshooting guide with no luck.

The 3750s don't seem to be tracking CPU usage correctly, which is making it
a pain to investigate and resolve. Has anyone seen similar problems and
managed to resolve it?
