Yes, of course. Run multiple copies of your script if it
generates particularly representative (of your intended work-load)
content. Otherwise use smtp-source(1) with a suitable number of parallel
streams.
Measurements of single-stream performance just measure single transaction
latency on a lightly loaded server, not peak server throughput.
