You can measure a lot of things , and as your question is not specificI will give some ideas. I assume you have test servers and you can
 modify the code and data.
 
 First you can meassure the time your forms take to process , you can do
 this in code with the microtime function ... you just take the time at
 he beggining and at the end of your scripts and get the difference .

 You can also measure the load of your test servers under a workload ,
 you can get  load testing and stress testing tools from freshmeat.net.
 
 
 If you are using databases you should try to popullate them, because
 some applications are poorly coded and the behavior under a load can
 dramaticly change.
 
 Also remember to check your system load and the time worked by the
 apache and database demons.
