The 3660 is lots faster than the 3640.

The routerperformance.pdf claims 25-36 mbit/s for the 3640 (64 byte packets,
no features) and 51-61 mbit/s. for the 3660.

For larger packets, the achievable performance is higher - but I still
wouldn't use it to run a fully loaded 100 Mbit/s. link with "features"
enabled (like: accounting, access-lists, etc.).
