Five percent is more than enough! I've seen the "sample" stream (Five percent) peak over 90,000 tweets in a single hour. The bad news is that *your* client is one of over *six* thousand! To get into the Top Ten, or even on the front page of http://tdash.org/stats/clients is going to require an intensive marketing effort.
