Hi Jonas,

  Considering the IQ2 PIC is oversubscribed 4 to 1 ... there isn't
  much problem I'd say ... you'd be lucky to get much more the 1G
  through it ..

  Of course if you have 4 of them, then you also oversubscribe the
  FPC - but that issue's been known for ages (i.e. 4 x gig PIC's in an
  FPC)
  
Cheers
Sean
