Yes, I'm aware of that :)

I'm actually not talking about usability and comparison here :). Thay 
have nice idea and nice performance graphs. And packetshader is actually 
_platform_ with fast packet delivery being one (and the only open) part 
of platform.

Their graphs shows 40MPPS (27G/64byte) CPU-only IPv4 packet forwarding 
on "two four-core Intel Nehalem CPUs (2.66GHz)" which illustrates 
software routing possibilities quite clearly.
