Try latest revision (r6218).
For my test device (WS-C2960C-8PC-L) polling time reduced from 124.78s -> to 17.52s (without disabling any module) :)

This command returns immediately with no output.

Nope, no CPU spike.

We've now tested on 12.2(55)EX, 15.0(2)SE7, and 15.2(1)E3. All have the
same problem. I can use snmpbulkwalk to query
CISCO-CEF-MIB::cefFIBSummaryEntry and the SNMP ENGINE process CPU use
jumps to over 80%, and stays there for 20 to 50 seconds.

Hopefully this info will be useful to other Observium users. It's
definitely a Cisco problem, not an Observium problem. As long as we
remember to disable cisco-cef when installing a 2960C everything is fine.
