you can view your current number ofg sessions, trhoughput an dnew connection rate etc via the following command:

show session info

To get an indication of what load your current system is experiencing, you can look at it's runtime CPU usage:

show running resource-monitor hourly show running resource-monitor daily

Besides the avg/max CPU usage, also keep an eye on the packet descriptor, thats an indication of bursts
