[c-nsp] High SNMP CPU with SXH. Is SXI any better?

[Jeff Fitzwater]

On the router with the problem we have 18K entries and our HP NNM  
management platform can only use snmp to get  the ARP and bridge  
mib.   How in the world does CISCO do it with their net management  
products?  Hmm... Maybe it doesn't also.

So now I have two great management tools, NETFLOW and SNMP that I  
can't use.

Our next upgrades may not be CISCO and I know we are not the only ones.
