6500 with current hardware doesn't support sampled NetFlow.  It supports NDE 
export sampling, which isn't the same thing, at all.

DFC-enabled linecards export NDE directly; the only time CPU load should be an 
issue is if there's lots of punted traffic, which is indicative of larger 
problems which should be addressed immediately.  Again, the issue is the 
propensity of the platform to export non-deterministically underreported 
statistics, along with the lack of TCP flags.
