SharePoint performance 

includes load-testing:

SharePoint performance test - does NOT sound too impressive ?!

A recent load test example. Looking at your web servers, you need to examine the number of concurrent users that you're going to expect to have and measure that number against what your hardware and VM can manage. A recent load test that I performed showed these results:

• Two SharePoint web servers (four cores, 16GB RAM), using load balancing
• One SharePoint application Server (four cores, 16GB RAM)
• One SQL Server instance (16 cores, 128GB RAM)

When performing a simple Create, Read, Update, and Delete operation in a standard SharePoint list, the system became completely non-responsive at 500 concurrent users. This minor field test simply logged a user in, created a list item, added text to the item, saved the item, deleted the item, and logged the user out. Watching this test on the server side, we found that we were immediately CPU-bound.
