A souffle relies on a lot of air incorporated into the egg whites to stay at a respectable height when cooked. The froth and resulting peaks you get from beating the egg whites is the result of this.

This just sounds like you are abusing an egg and being criminal. Beating the crap out of it.
Just use an electric mixer and by done with it.
