One of the first papers about ovs have something similar to what you want to do: http://openvswitch.org/papers/dccaves2010.pdf They got ~7G at that time, depending on the transfer (pkt) size.
I believe you should also try UDP and non ip traffic, to isolate the tcp/ip stack code. OVS also has a kernel module, so using something else to check how much cpu the kernel module consumes would be interesting as well. Another thing you should try is to search for "openvswitch performance" on google scholar. This would give you some other interesting reading sources.
