[c-nsp] 7201 cpu (revisited)

[Mark Kent]

I know that we've had 7201 vs 7301 cpu load discussions here before,
but check out this graph:

I swapped a 7201 in for a 7301 Saturday evening and the 
Monday cpu load went from the 40's to the 50's.

The box is doing this:

LAN:
  30 second  input rate 176282000 bits/sec, 40918 packets/sec
  30 second output rate  28761000 bits/sec, 11435 packets/sec

LAN:
  30 second  input rate 175699000 bits/sec, 20292 packets/sec
  30 second output rate 111621000 bits/sec, 39461 packets/sec

Upstream (0/3):
  30 second  input rate 140955000 bits/sec, 47519 packets/sec
  30 second output rate 342654000 bits/sec, 57959 packets/sec

CPU utilization for five seconds: 54%/53%; one minute: 52%; five minutes: 52%

One bgp neighbor, "ip flow ingress" on all interfaces,
nothing else special.

I'm looking for someone to tell me something reassuring :-)
