Yes, most definitely this is a CPU issue. It means corosync isn't
getting enough CPU cycles to handle the cluster token before the
timeout is reached.
Upgrading may indeed help, as recent versions ensure that corosync runs
with real-time priority in the kernel, and thus are more likely to get
CPU time when something of lower priority is consuming all the CPU.
But of course, there is some underlying problem that should be
identified and addressed. Figure out what's maxing out the CPU or I/O.
Ulrich's monitoring suggestion is a good start.
