It's not about slow CPU. MX80 has very fast PPC (fastest from it's like)
processor but RPD code sucks.  Same family was used eg.  in RSP720 in Cisco
7600 which is much faster - but it's probably becouse IOS preforms better
than JunOS in terms of performance/scheduling on PPC platform.

New MX80 is coming (with Dual-RE) but RE is so small and I don't think it
will be Intel instead of PPC.
