Yes, you have much more messages per second than I do. However, the big
ACL just means that you need enough CPU power to walk the ACL. And you
can share the load by having multiple MX. 

But it seems your problem is more a thread limit from the OS than CPU
being too slow. That's OS specific, and that's why I could not answer. I
guess the only answer I have is that sharing the load on multiple MX
will solve your problem.
