I have a site that ran extensive testing on the GEIP+ under many different 
scenerios: w/ and w/o PBR; via a GRE tunnel; w/ and w/o distributed cef; 
various pkt sizes and generally we topped out at 200kpps.  Check to make 
sure there are no open bugs for your version in regards to DCEF, which 
would negate a lot of what you want to get.  Also, check the "overruns" 
counter.  If you are not getting 200kpps, check overruns and I bet it will 
be non-zero.
