[f-nsp] Problem with CPU load monitoring via SNMP

Hello folks :)

Our System: NetIron 400 + M4 + B2P8.0

I've noticed some strange difference when comparing the CPU/Process load 
values coming from the local console...

 N400#sh proc cpu
 Process Name   5Sec(%)   1Min(%)   5Min(%)   15Min(%)   Runtime(ms)

...with the ones obtained via SNMP:

 admin at somehost# snmpwalk [...]
 enterprises.1991.1.1.2.1.35.0 = Gauge32: 1
 enterprises.1991.1.1.2.1.50.0 = Gauge32: 1
 enterprises.1991.1.1.2.1.51.0 = Gauge32: 1
 enterprises.1991.1.1.2.1.52.0 = Gauge32: 1

The SNMP query always produce "1" for all CPU related OID I know and not 
my expected value (which would be somewhat between 7...9)!

 - It's a Software bug?
 - Have I referenced the wrong OID?
 - Maybe the overall CPU load ist _not_ the appropriate column sum?


Thx for any hints
