Is the processor load profile the same on both the 3662 and the 3640?  Is
the output above from the 3640?

The 3662 is officially supported as of 12.3(2)T.  See:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00804420e7.html


If you use a loopback interface as the local interface on the 3640, does it
make a difference in the CPU load?
