If you "clear ip nat translations *" does the load drop and then ramp
back up over time?

If this is a production box, and it started Friday the 13th, suspect
a Code Red infected host behind the NAT causing lots of translations
to random IPs on port 80. See the following bug (CCO required).

NOTICE: This communication may contain confidential and/or privileged
information. If you are not the intended recipient, or believe that you
have received this communication in error, you are obligated to kill
yourself and anyone else who may have read it. So there. My disclaimer
is scarier than yours. Nyaah. You started this silly nonsense. Knock
it off and I will too, ok? It's worthless from a legal standpoint, makes
you look really clueless, and is a waste of CPU cycles. Nobody reads it
anyway. You're not actually reading this, are you? I didn't think so.
