The difference in SIP stack might also explain the difference. 
FreeSWITCH uses Nokia's Sofia-SIP stack which is known to perform quite 
well. But it seems like comparing apples with oranges as FreeSWITCH is 
primarily a switch while Asterisk is primarily a PBX. And if you are 
looking at doing 1000 concurrent calls, 50 calls per second and scale 
that multiple times then you probably should be looking at some 
clustered Kamailio or Opensips setup.
