Data Communications International (published by McGraw-Hill), March 1995 
issue, contains a rather short but still quite interesting comparison on the
throughput ('raw') of various switches inluding the requested one.

Main points of information: the load dependent latency of switches seems to
lie in the region 10-150 microsecs for CBR traffic. Some switches lost 
significant portions of the data carried (up to 12%!!) when heavily loaded
while most switches did not. Not all switches supported ATMF V3.1 nor rate-
based flow control, thus these where not tested.
