FWF90D v5.2.4 - Traffic Shaping - Maxes out at ~120-140mbps?

I've been testing traffic shapping with a FWF90D sitting on a Centurylink 1gbps fiber connection.  With no traffic shaping I can get full speed on the link.  

 

With traffic shapers enabled though I'm seeing odd behavior.  It seems like traffic shapers work properly up until about ~110mbps.  Anything beyond that and the upload/download seem to cap out as low as ~110mbps and as high as ~140mbps.

 

Does anyone know if the lower-end units have a maximum throughput a shaper can handle?  

 

Here are some examples of what I'm seeing with a shaper set to 100mbps, 200mbps, unlimited, and no shaper at all:

the traffic can not be handled by SoC1/2-NPU if you have enabled the traffic-shaping function...

that's because the NPU for SoC1/2 does not currently support the hardware traffic shaper...

and the ARM-based CPU sucks...
