Well, we don't know. Now one has been ever benchmarking this. 
Ever. Someone needs to step up and provide the data. I will do it 
eventually, but that will happen later rather than sooner.

I've done some testing on my own ;) 
https://github.com/Dicebot/web-performance-tests - unfortunately, 
I was not able to get meaningful results for high concurrency 
cases because of h/w limits generic crappy laptop network cards 
have (should probably delete existing ones as they are mostly 
useless), but it provides all the tools for one to try and see :P

There is always an option to create your own benchmarking game :P 
All you need is production-grade networking hardware and pair of 
PC's (with client being considerably more powerful than server).
