The router performance PDF claims 87 Mbit/s. for the 2821 and 112 Mbit/s.
for the 2851 - but that's for 64 byte packets.  So if your packets are
larger ("internet standard mix") both routers will do 200 Mbit/s.

OTOH if you have to calculate DoS attacks, virus outbreaks, etc. into
the mix, and want a router that can do 200 Mbit/s. under worst-case
conditions, you'll need at least a 3845 (which the performance PDF claims
to be faster than a NPE-400).
