Unless someone updated stick & snot to actually send both client &
server side of the traffic, it's a bogus test because recent versions
of snort (actually for well over a year now) look for a full TCP three
way setup.

For more info, read the snort faq about stick & snot:
http://www.snort.org/docs/faq.html

There's a lot of tools available for performance testing and a lot of
research on methodologies... I suggest you search the list archives
since this topic comes up about once a week.
