It's difficult to predict, as it depends on the nature of your traffic, the type of mirroring you're performing, the concurrency of your connections, and so forth, and of course, whatever else the BigIP is doing at the same time. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on the CPU usage shown in the dashboard as you increase your load.
