Not quite true. I believe the feature works by punting the SYN & SYN/ACK 
to the sup for modification of the MSS TCP option, then installing a 
higher-priority netflow entry, leaving the rest of the flow to be 
hardware-forwarded.

So it'll certainly incur a CPU load, but it's dependent on the session 
rate, not the packet rate.
