"I also installed the codec g729 for transcoding from g711 to g729 (for testing purposes only)."

If you're planning to transcode G729 it's always better to test with the one you're actually going to be using. You can get completely different results since they're different code bases.

fs_itu_g729 will use more CPU and memory than mod_com_g729 so you'll get different load testing results.
It also has no concept of licenses, so there's no way of testing that you're handling the conditions where mod_com_g729 has reached the license limit.

Yes, G729 is a CPU hog, especially the illegal one you are testing with.
The commercial one that you can purchase from
http://www.freeswitch.org probably will do slightly better but you
will always get much less milage out of cpu intensive codecs.
