  This is not completely true.  We have seen this thing consume HUGE cycles on
systems that were not even server boxes.  In digging through the problem with
IBM's help it turned out that if a token-ring line with monitoring turned way up
experienced a lot of errors, this guy (CFINT01) chewed up a LOT of CPU and
memory.  One day it consumed nearly 100% of system memory (which was maxed for
the model) and about 99% of CPU. Turning off the T/R monitoring set the system
back to normal in about 5 minutes.

  This was repeatable behavior.
