Yes, but CPU and traffic growth on the NPE-G2 is not linear.

I've been able to get 950Mbps out of an NPE-G2 at 91% CPU with no
traffic drops.

Of course, these numbers change if you add ACL's, but not as bad as you
would think if you keep it simple.

Ultimately, a couple hundred Mbps with a typical peering configuration
should be nicely doable for cheap. It all depends on the OP's use-case.
