It manages the load great (loadavage always below 80%).
I've seen smaller machines handling hundreds of users simultaneously okay - and the main game process often was running nice'd down behind extensive number crunching. Okay, maybe you did not think of a (text-based) MUD/MUSH when asking about a "game server"... ;-)
