Carl,

In general, I believe that SIPp is mostly CPU limited.  You could try 
reducing the frequency of the clock ticks, to reduce CPU utilization, but 
that may cause other problems (e.g., increased burstiness). 
We have found that to generate high loads, you will need to use more than 
one machine as a UAC and UAS.

There are several ways you could improve performance, if you had the 
motivation to improve the SIPp code itself.  For example, the send_scene 
call could be changed such that the XML parsing breaks the message up into 
chunks of various types.  Then, rather than strstr'ing for replacement 
strings, you can just switch on an integer type.  There are several other 
examples of code that could be optimized, and if you run some profiling 
software you might find other low-hanging fruit.
