[c-nsp] ASR 1k vs 9k as a non-transit BGP router with full tables?

ASR 1002-HX has quad-core 2.5 Ghz, I'd say it is architecturally more closer to RP3.

RP3 has quad-core 2.2Ghz.  The slightly higher clock speed on 1002-HX is because the RP CPU also
controls the built-in ESP control-plane.

And I can't imagine that ASR1K RP2 will beat down ASR 9001 on BGP.  Perhaps so on single full feed RP2
is probably much faster, but it is still IOS XE.  I would imagine that on a peering/transit router 
scenario with multiple full feeds, ASR 9001 would scale much better.  FWIW, I never had problems with
ASR 9001 ever bogging down when sucking in 3-4 full tables.
