Honestly, cpu overhead shouldn't be an issue with a traffic shape queue.
If it is, probably a seriously underpowered router or poor code. Now if
you applied extensive rules for various traffic at different rates and
queue priorities, I could see lots of extra ticks.
Don't get me wrong. I have 400mbps+ traffic shapes on my junipers and
probably glad for the extensive hardware support (like I have a choice,
no hardware support, the router won't do it)
