The CPU output from the TOP command can not be used to determine dataplane load. The pan_task processes are always at 100% CPU utilization as they are the individual software processes which perform packet processing on the dataplane..

Solaris mode divides the % CPU for each process by the number of CPUs in the system so that the total will be 100%.
To Toggle IRIX Mode off press Shift+I:
