I also revisited the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches Data Sheet (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-2960-x-series-switches/data_sheet_c78-728232.html) and the CPU is a APM86392 600MHz dual core. So, I googled that and got the data sheet on the CPU: http://c1170156.r56.cf3.rackcdn.com/UK_AMC_APM86392-SGA600T_DS.pdf. According to the CPU datasheet, it could be faster.
To answer your question on that switch, all interfaces are shutdown and all copper interfaces are configured "power inline never."
I have another switch running the same code part & it's in a pod I'm configuring for a remote site. So, that one has dot1x, QoS, but again, no PoE and all SFP ports are disabled. Here's the interesting parts of the configuration:
no ip domain-lookup
ip domain-name [mycompany].com
vtp mode transparent
udld aggressive

And here's the CPU utilization (didn't make much of a difference):

However, this pod of equipment (2 x 1921 routers & 3 2960X switches) are not under load. I will be monitoring this equipment after it's deployed and plan to post the results.
