For completeness sake: The BTC network is, by design, setting the difficulty of mining a new block so that its 10 min on avg. Currently there fitting ~2200 transactions in one block [0].

That makes 3.6667 transactions per second. BTC needs a hard fork in order to increase this dramatically.

So you were actually quite generous with 10 transactions per second...
