The "Routing Performance" portable product sheet gives some numbers on
performance:

You might consider the 3560 L3 switch instead; it lacks features but
delivers plenty of raw forwarding performance in a relatively cheap
package. It supports VRF-Lite with the services image and can do
prioritising QoS fine.

Otherwise we have used 2851 this, though typically with a number of HDLC
lines instead of fiber.
