[c-nsp] qos_metric_daemon being CPU hog every ten seconds on PIX 7.0(2)

[Sam Stickland]

Hi,

Anyone seen this before? Every 10 seconds we get a large spike in 
latency for forwarded traffic through the PIX 535 running 7.0(2). This 
coincides perfectly with "sh proc cpu-hog" showing NUMHOG increases 
against qos_metric_daemon:

sh proc cpu-hog

    MAXHOG             NUMHOG             LASTHOG             Process
--------------     ---------------     ---------------       ---------
       750                324                750              tacplus_snd
       870            3039098                860              
qos_metric_daemon
     13230                366               9690              snmp
       860                 35                850              telnet/ci

qos_metric_daemon is of course the process the collects stats for ASDM 
(I've tried disabling ASDM, but the process sill runs).

Any ideas?
