Something is killing the CPU with that config though, just as Roland
remarked. You should escalate that with TAC, or use CoPP to lower the
load RP is taking and look for root cause.

A couple of people on this list claimed they have 6500s doing a
200-300Mpps without a problem, search the archives. I'm logged via SSH
to a 6500 that is doing over 80Mpps right now and load stays at 2-5%,
with ACLs, uRPF, three full BGP feeds and some QoS.
