Routing speed equals to wire speed if you're not bound to anything (which is not often the case) so you can easily do 95Mbit/s with good NICs, _but_ only if the packet size is big enough. For IP packets size smaller than 256 bytes, you start walking into the currently very inefficient packet handling of stable kernels.
