Well, with the new Juniper entry level MX devices out now, the cost difference between Vyatta and Juniper is probably insignificant now, and with Juniper devices, you have much higher PPS rate.
Granted, I have Vyatta devices now doing BGP, and they work fine, but you can't argue that ASICs can forward much faster than a general purpose CPU :)

I won't argue that an ASIC isn't faster, but it is hard to argue that Vyatta isn't capable of high-end performance. http://download.intel.com/embedded/processor/solutionbrief/322973.pdf
