It is difficult to answer since the rate changes greatly depending on 
the magnitude of
numbers and on the CPU.
My C program on a single thread on a i7-3930K (thats doing nothing else),
in  neighborhood of 10^12  runs at about  1500*10^6 tau/min,
and near 9*10^12  at about 800*10^6 tau/min.
Using multiple threads these numbers become 6000*10^6 tau/m and
and 3000*10^6 tau/m.

If my search for the similar sequence A075046 is correct, I've already
checked up to  10^13 (which is the limit of my program and also of my 
patience).
