[c-nsp] HELLO PACKET of HSRP

[Tom Sands]

Depending on how many VIP/groups you intend to have, and the platform 
you are doing it on, you could impact your CPU some.  However, it is 
really fairly minimal.  Given some of the limitations you have on 
certain platforms (# of groups for 3550 or 3750) I haven't had any 
significant impact on CPU.  We have run 6500's up to 2000+ instances 
with only minimal noticeable impact on the CPU.  The problem seen though 
is when in a failover scenario, if everything sets off at once it's a 
big hit on the CPU. So, we adjusted the timers to stagger the failover 
of different groups.
