RP1 is really slow compared to the RP2 but
really fast against the Sup720, RSP720 or NPE-G2
A comparison against other RPs and actual benchmarks
would be helpful.

We always go with RP2 for purchases, unless it's a fixed unit, e.g., the ASR1002.

Always take the faster CPU, if you can. RP1 is really, really slow.
