Brown, Because there are so many variables (application processing, network conditions, hardware specs), I think the best you can hope for is to come up with ballpark figures that are specific to your environment. The good news is that you've already got a load test in place. To get a sense of what your best case figures would be, create a simple servlet or JSP that outputs Hello World. Then use your test client to stress test that application for a period of time. This should give you the performance figures to strive for within your environment.
