60k/second across 24 cores, admittedly on very fast hardware (though not using all the cores that hardware has). Pretty much the same number on 16 cores.
In general, telling someone they're "way off" about performance and citing 6 year old benchmarks isn't a winning plan.
In any case, it's immaterial to what we're discussing. My slow laptop could verify all the signatures for a busy day of updates in a couple seconds, and it's clearly -possible- to put a big fraction of this horsepower in a router.
On the other hand, verify is cheaper. My crappy laptop will do ~320k RSA-2048 verifications per second...
