It's ability to reach that forwarding capacity would depend on which other "packet-touching" features you have enabled, e.g., ACL's, QoS, e.t.c., (and most of us love to touch packets entering/leaving the perimetre). That said, we've been happy with NPE-G2's doing BGP, IS-IS, ACL's, uRPF, MPLS and QoS reaching 600Mbps @ 65% CPU, in some of our smaller edge deployments. As P routers in smaller deployments as well, we've seen the NPE-G2 peak at an aggregated forwarding capacity of 950Mbps @ 69% CPU (IS-IS, MPLS, BGP for IPv6). We don't intend to push our NPE-G1's this hard, but I've heard of capabilities to reach between 400Mbps and 550Mbps on this platform, depending on features, e.t.c. Cheers, Mark.
