[c-nsp] Strange High CPU

Don't do that then!   :)

Show run is pretty processor-intensive.  Show tech is also
processor-intensive, but is asking for a lot more information, so it's
going to keep the CPU high for a longer period.  Are you running these
through a vty port, or console?   Console is usually worse, since it's
use is much more work for the CPU than a vty port.  If you know your
startup config is the same as the running config, just get in the habit
of looking at that.  Viewing startup config is just parsing a file in
NVRAM, versus digging through all data structures in RAM and piecing it
back together.  I don't think you're hitting any bug, just asking a lot
of a slow CPU.

Hi list,

I  I have some issues with a router Cisco 871, it have two VPNs with GRE
to others 871 routers, I realise me that when I execute "show run" or
"show
tech-support" (it delays) the cpu process in my router reach 99%, the
problem seems  the process Virtual Exec, I have seen that it adds 95%
load
CPU to my router Cisco 871, only for this instant.

According to cisco, the solutions for this problem is that i execute "no
logging console" or  "undebug all" , but I am not running some debug. I
am
running the same IOS in several cisco routers 871, it works fine, my IOS
is
c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-4.T3.bin
Could it be a hardware problem or un bug in the IOS?.

If anyone can search my IOS have bugs in Bug
Toolkit<http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/> [image:
Please log in to access] from Cisco, I do not have a CCO account with
levels
access required. Or how can I tune my config for the Virtual Exec
process,
any help is appreciated.
