[c-nsp] Cisco 2811 performance issue - dual(new) isp

I have no faith in sites like speedtest.net actually reporting the true speed of your link.

Use your ISP's local FTP site  & mirror sites or find one close to them upstream and perform testing.

I have attached another log called "latest_2811_logs". it contains the "sh ip traffic, sh int switching and a "show proc cpu sorted 1min" output immediately after doing a test on speedguide.net through the new isp2 connection. I see some throttle drops but not much more. I'm still puzzled at the poor performance. I put the interface back to auto as well and teh results are the same. Any ideas?
