[c-nsp] WIC-2T Maximum Throughput

I routinely hit 6Mb and have seen peaks of 8Mb/s on a 3620.  The CPU 
does get very high during such peaks, but that is more ACL/GRE related 
as this router handles a GRE tunnel and has a ~30 line ACL.  3640 has a 
little more CPU and RAM and should do a little more.
