Does that not result in a rather large CPU spike b depending on the interface loading..?

Hooman,

CEF can do it with your same AD static routes, if traffic is between same pair of src/dst, configure it per packet (ip load-sharing per-packet)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0/switch/configuration/guide/xccefc.html

 

there was a limitation for number of CEF entires, cant remember now (based on nexthop) ... if bandwidth is different between links I would go for bandwidth-proportinal loadbalancing with bgp dmzlink-bw
