I'm not really sure what is happening there - but I doubt that modular
would help much with "a process is burning CPU needlessly".

I'm not exactly sure how it works.  There's different kinds of processes,
some of them having "sub-processes".

The one that has BGP in it is "iprouting.iosproc".  All the "old IOS stuff"
seems to be "ios-base".
