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.
