Well I'd say 50 request could generate oh say 1000 (20 requests per  
page).


I don't think you said what platform. If unix I'd look at how often the  
aio logic is called..
Which platform drives how often checkinterrupts is called, so I can't  
say if it's 3ms, 1ms, or 10ms?
Also the number of listening socket handlers drives the thruput, aka...

socket listenOn: 44444 backlogSize: 4.

Of course if the backlogSize is actually used or ignored is dependent  
on the VM primitive and operating system
