Only? We have run GeoServer at the WMS benchmarks allowing up to 16 WMS requests giving GS less than 2GB heap. Past that we use control-flow to limit the amount of parallel requests so that the others get queued. But normally we find the limit is the number of CPUs, not much the memory (I'd normally lock down WMS parallellism to numCpu * 2). A 1024x1024 RGBA request uses a drawing surface of 4MB, multiply that by the number of active feature type style in the style, and if you have designed it properly you don't have much more than 4-8, that makes for 32MB tops per request, that is, 512MB of drawing surfaces for 16 screen wide requests in parallel (or 256 tile sized requests in parallel). Give it 1024MB and you should be good to handle an almost limitless number of WFS requests in parallel (WFS request work full streaming, the memory footprint of each is negligible).
