As ytti said, you're software switching.

Are you carrying full tables, and have hit MLS CEF limits?

("show mls cef exception status")

If this is showing "TRUE", you've hit "too many prefixes" and need to
reduce the number of routes this box sees, and then reload (no way to
normalize without reboot).

If this is showing all FALSE, something else is causing software
switching.
