I'm running similar amounts of load in production for an intranet site
I did that runs Cocoon 2.1.4 - about to be upgraded to 2.1.5.  It's
only accessible by certain individuals  (around 50 or so.. but usually
never sees more than 10-20 at a time).

I've had no reports of any site problems.  We arent steadily crunching
on XML files that are 30K.  We have some pretty decent sized requests
though (processing of about 7000 database records if you choose the
right type of medical treatment search).

Anyways - my recommendation would to check out this thread or similar
ones from the mailing list:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107836170600001&r=1&w=2

I found this helpful for getting the site running a little faster and
more stable.  We were having these nasty problems where Cocoon starts
serving BLANK pages (yes its serving a page.. its just completely
blank).  We found increaing pool sizes and the heapsize fixed.

The server we have in production is a single Dell Poweredge.. its a
2.4Ghz Xeon I think, with a gig of ram and about 80G drive space
running Redhat Linux (soon to be upgraded to another distro).
