[c-nsp] Earl NDE Task (sup 720)

[Drew Weaver]

Was there some point in the software versions for the Cat6500 where the Earl NDE Task process suddenly began using hardly any CPU utilization?

We have 6 catalyst 6500s, 2 of them are farly new, and 4 of them are fairly old, all of them have almost equal load and netflow is configured exactly the same. The only difference being the version of IOS. There is about a 15% CPU utilization difference in that task.

On a one with older code it hangs at around 15-17%, on a one with newer code it is 0-1%.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
