Look at the specs of the RSP-720. It would be a lot faster at software 
forwarding than all of the devices
 mentioned earlier. (it'd probably be similar speed to the NPE-G2, I guess)

The issue is that the switch architecture makes it very hard to 
accurately track and record the information needed for netflow. This 
information is stored in TCAM, which is already scarce enough on those 
platforms!
