    This general procedure was used when doing pre-dawn 3.0 performance testing as mentioned in EOSIO/eos#2078.
Network layout: 2 nodes connected to each other on same box, 1 producer, 1 generator

Hardware: AMD Ryzen at 3.9Ghz

Software: Linux 4.15; eosio compiled with Clang6 -O3

Tested on Apr25 2018 on the DAWN-2018-04-23-ALPHA branch
Make an empty directory for our configs & data, mkdir ~/eos.data, and define a logging.json that doesn't print debug information (which occurs for each txn) to the console
cat << EOF > ~/eos.data/logging.json

Launch producer
$ ./nodeos -d ~/eos.data/producer_node --config-dir ~/eos.data/producer_node -l ~/eos.data/logging.json --http-server-address "" -p eosio -e

Launch non-producer that will generate transactions
$ ./nodeos -d ~/eos.data/generator_node --config-dir ~/eos.data/generator_node -l ~/eos.data/logging.json --plugin eosio::txn_test_gen_plugin --plugin eosio::wallet_api_plugin --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --p2p-peer-address localhost:9876 --p2p-listen-endpoint localhost:5555

Create a wallet on the non-producer and set bios contract
$ ./cleos wallet create
$ ./cleos set contract eosio ~/eos/build.release/contracts/eosio.bios/ 

Initialize the accounts txn_test_gen_plugin uses
$ curl --data-binary '["eosio", "5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3"]' http://localhost:8888/v1/txn_test_gen/create_test_accounts

Start transaction generation, this will submit 20 transactions evey 20ms (total of 1000TPS)
$ curl --data-binary '["", 20, 20]' http://localhost:8888/v1/txn_test_gen/start_generation

Note the producer console prints
eosio generated block 9b8b851d... #3219 @ 2018-04-25T16:07:47.000 with 500 trxs, lib: 3218
eosio generated block e5b3cd5d... #3220 @ 2018-04-25T16:07:47.500 with 500 trxs, lib: 3219
eosio generated block b243aeaa... #3221 @ 2018-04-25T16:07:48.000 with 500 trxs, lib: 3220

showing 1000TPS. Producer CPU usage is only ~48%
