I get similar behavior across several MX80s on various 11.4 builds with 
sampling enabled.  Pretty much anything that causes rpd to walk the entire 
RIB leads to this, including policy updates that produce no changes toward 
the PFEs.  I watched sampled take well over 20 minutes to settle down 
after one of those today, and the RE was basically useless for the 
duration...
