[syslog-ng] Tests using loggen - not receiving all the packets

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to run a test to check insert rates.
If I run this command:

./loggen -r 5000 -D -I 10 127.0.0.1 514

The output shows:
average rate = 5441.60 msg/sec, count=54420, time=10.007, msg size=256,
bandwidth=1360.40 kB/sec

But, my stats don't show that many messages received:

syslog-ng[6660]: Log statistics; dropped=\'pipe(/dev/xconsole)=0\',
processed=\'center(queued)=24232\', processed=\'center(received)=8077,
processed=\'destination(df_logzilla)=8077\'

As you can see, it sent 55k messages, but I only received 8k.
Am I doing something wrong?

Here are my options in the syslog-ng config:
options {
      long_hostnames(off);
      log_msg_size(8192);
      flush_lines(1);
      log_fifo_size(16384);
      time_reopen(10);
      use_dns(yes);
      dns_cache(yes);
      use_fqdn(yes);
      keep_hostname(yes);
      chain_hostnames(no);
      perm(0644);
     stats_freq(60);

};
