[c-nsp] Abnormal CPU usage on a G1 engine

Team,
I have a G1 engine in a Cisco 7206VXR and another G1 engine in a
7246VXR that are both showing almost 50% CPU usage on a network that
only has 358 cable modems. I have other networks with over 3000 modems
that don't create more than 25% CPU usage on their G1 engines. Everytime
I check the "show proc cpu" output, it never shows any system processes
consuming more than 5% of the CPU. Is there a process that I could be
missing that is overworking both my G1 engines? Why is such a small
network that passes 15 Mbps of traffic causing the CPU to work so hard?
Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks again.
