Quite right I think. 

Cisco are very good at documenting Configuration scenarios for all of
their platforms.
It might be a good idea to document 'guideline' or lab tested
throughputs for various platforms.
It may not always be feasible - given the range, but it would help I
think.

Lets call it, 'An Engineers Guide to Cisco Performance Recommendations -
Based on Pre-configured Scenarios' :)

I personally don't see "routerperformance.pdf" as marketing nonsense. It
gives you a basic figure to work with and makes it possible to compare
different platforms.

Of course a set of standard cases could be documented, e.g. "simple NAT,
one inside and one outside interface" or "simple LLQ with this specific
configuration". But one man's standard setup is an exotic setup for many
of his colleagues.

If Cisco were to announce "best case" forwarding figures, I would call
that marketing nonsense. :-)
