Did you mean to close the case as duplicate. Please close the case as "the question was answered, right answer was accepted" instead.

What do you mean by “the stack does not respond well”? The central will decide the actual connection parameters. If the peripheral request below 100ms and the central can’t do that, it will reject the request and the peripheral have to handle this.

The number of packets sent per connection interval will also greatly impact the throughput. If you set the bandwidth config to high in the stack (s130 v2 feature), you will be able to send 6 packets per connection interval. You can see the maximum data throughput using s130 v2 here. As you see the maximum data throughput is 149.2kbps and this is assuming the other side can receive/send 6 packets per connection interval and that the connection interval can be 7.5ms. Also take a look at this post on Devzone.

You will never be able to get a throughput of 2mbps. You can get 2mbps on air data rate in radio proprietary mode, and maybe an actual data throughput of up to about 1.7mbps if you set the config right.

Maximum frequency on twi is also 400kHz, with the actual bitrate being lower because of start condition, stop condition and ack, so this may also be a limiting factor.
