Looks like getting a big cloud instance running may help. Is the simulator I/O or compute bound?
It is typically compute bound (unless you're short on RAM: 6GB the figure I've been bandying around as a plausible minimum). With rate limiting enabled it will artificially limit its speed, in which case it may use less than 100% CPU.
Running in the cloud probably introduces difficulties with the flexlm licensing.
