Atlassian has performance tests which are used internally to benchmark
the speed of JIRA. These performance tests have been designed to work
with a blank installation of JIRA. The tests consist of two components: Setup test and Fixed load test.
Regarding the load test, the setup test was configured to create 10,000 issues in 20 projects. The default permission schemes were used and the sample text for issues and comments is made up of around 12MB of English language text.
Load wise, the JIRA 3.13 tests attempt to perform about 30-40 requests per second. In JIRA 4, this is higher at 70-80 requests per second due to extra requests being made to simulate dashboard gadgets.
