With this 'a bit optimized' merged bearerbox and smsbox of ours, I recall 
values of 1000-2000 msg/s in modern workstation (fakesmsc/simple answer). 
It is good to notice that main things that create bottlenecks are:
 - smsc drivers/smsc itself
 - smsbox utilities (http library)

The current Kannel is, however, made in that way that it gets trashed if 
it receives messages faster than it can handle, so beware :]
