Cisco rates it at 256mbps which places it above a NPE-400.
The 3825 says 179mbps on their spec sheet. Not sure where you are getting
your numbers but they are way off.
All of those numbers are straight forwarding with nothing turned on and 64
byte packets. That way you get a nice idea of what the CPU can do.

For our 100mb metro e connections we use 3845s. The 100 mb service
terminates into NM-GEs, which have a faster throughput than the hwics.
Be careful using 3845s for 100 Mbps connections or above - Cisco rates
them at 45 Mbps (and 3825 at half of that) but last time I checked
doesn't make any promises at faster than T3. They're being
conservative about it, but one thing that really can burn the
horsepower is traffic shaping, which you need with some MetroE
carriers.

Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so
far.
And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
