[j-nsp] Hyper Mode on MX

By the way HyperMode is only useful if you expect some very high throughput with very small packets (none of the MPCs are linerate using very small packets, but HyperMode brings it closer).
Your Junirepresentative may show you a linerate performance/packet size graph with/without HyperMode to help the decision.

Note: not your case, but HyperMode is useless on MX204, though (that has some other throughput limitations, discussed in this mailing-list and in Juniper KB).
