I have two pix 525's running 6.3(3). I failed over to the secondary and rebooted the primary.
When the primary came back up its cpu is running close to 60%. "sh proc" shows the Pix Garbage Collector using alot of cpu time. Is this normal
behavior?
pix-1# sh cpu usage
CPU utilization for 5 seconds = 57%; 1 minute: 56%; 5 minutes: 57%
