As a matter of fact I have one Transaction Controller as a parent of all web services call.

Thread Group - 250 threads
   Transaction Controller
        HTTP Request
        ....
        HTTP Request
    Test Action
        Constant Throughput - 28.5

I've spread the load across 5 engines, each engine is driving at 500tps per request. Hosts average CPU is ~60%, two hosts one with 2 JMeter instances and one with 3 JMeter instances. NIC bandwidth utilization is ~5% on both hosts. Also, I'm not running in a Master/Slave configuration.

I'm performance testing a set of web services with an expected response time

samplers doing POSTs with a SOAP payload.  The samplers have Response
Assertions, Regular Expression Extractors, and some have XPath Extractors.
  The results have created a bit of a quandry. The average response times in
JMeter are in the range of 50-60ms and the average request times on the web
servers is ~15ms.  The network latency is<  1ms from the JMeter load
generators to the web servers.

Question:  Is JMeter processing adding in the additional  35-45ms?
Very unlikely unless JMeter or the host is so busy that it cannot
service all its threads promptly.
But in that case I would expect to see wide variations in elapsed time
between threads .

You could try using HttpClient 4.x instead of 3.1 and see if that
makes a difference.

Does the response time include processing of the assertions and extractors?
No, not unless you use a Transaction Controller.
