I made a server (on my own) that handles 12,000 simulated players, connected with TCP sending in average one random command every 5 seconds to about 70 other players per second.
There were no AI or heavy math functions on either the client or server side, the server side did state updates on 1/3 of all the commands.
Response time was between 10 and 30 ms (clients were connecting from another machine on the local network).

You can see the results in more detail here:

You can download the source of the server here if you want to play around with it, the license is BSD:
