my tests with SXH on a sup720-3B showed a constant higher load
of the switch processor compared to any SXF version:

Version SXF:

Version SXH:
The slcp process is consuming always at least 20% on SXH releases on the
same box.

Remarks: The box is used as a LAN collapsed backbone router, terminating
~ 170 SVIs with about 8k MAC addresses in the LAN.
