[c-nsp] NPE-G1 throughput, with and without L2TP

[Church, Chuck]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the G2 yet.  Just happened to
notice that earlier while looking for something else...

We get around 180Mbps (x2, coming from one interface and passing through
the 
other) spanning across ~3000 L2TP sessions before maxing (95%) the cpu.
But we 
use netflow+policing on most of these sessions, so we should get more if
we 
disable these.

PS: Still haven't tried MPF ;)
