the benchmark you even link shows absolutely abysmal performance curves, dropping down into even half a gig perf for small packets single stream.

Calling any benchmark "abysmal" requires a point of comparison, and you have provided none... so it doesn't really encourage good discussion. What's the point of your comment? It seems to just be a way of insulting someone else's product.
Which comparably priced router are you thinking of that has a "non-abysmal" performance curve for small packet bandwidth?

Fair. It was the first router I found on their site with listed throughout >= 25 Gbit/s.
This[0] has a $600 MSRP, with twelve 10Gbps ports and two 25Gbps ports. It's ~32W before you add the SFP+ modules, and upwards of 50W if you have all modules populated.
In the benchmarks they list, this can provide somewhere on the order of 13Gbps to 40Gbps of routing, depending on exactly what you're doing. (Smaller packets will lower these numbers, but if you care about bandwidth you're unlikely to be worried about smaller packets... at that point, you probably care more about kpps.)
