I'm in a lab environment, not in real world production, but for what it is
worth:
There are 18 standard application test scripts we use, (such as sales order
entry, purchase order entry, supply demand inquiry, etc.). Across all the
applications we test, the average response time for the win32 clients,
(which include TSE & Citrix), was generally between .25 & .75 seconds. For
HTML client it was usually between .5 and 1.0 seconds.
This is for latest release & SP for Xe. Results for earlier versions and
some of the early service packs was much worse. We saw a lot of
performance improvements after SP14. This is also for a pretty well tuned
system, with some of the fun little pieces, like silent post enabled. You
can find some of the tuning recommendations at:

Also, these were all based on WebSphere as the java application server.
For the iSeries tests we used the HTTP server that comes with it. For
xSeries tests we used IIS as the HTTP server and WebSphere as the web
application server. I think you have to use WebSphere as the java
application server with Xe, not definite on that, but you can use other
HTTP servers.
There are some marketing flyers at the website below that give a little
more info on some of the tests we've run. let me know if you'd like more
details.
