Hi Matt, I've replaced JMeter with Gatling [1], which has a nice DSL to work with and in my opinion much faster to write tests when compared to JMeter. Having said that, the apache ab tool (cli) [2] is useful for the initial checks. If you have routes that work concurrently, Camel's JMX statistics has proved invaluable to find bottlenecks especially when tuning the optimal number of threads required. A good profiling tool also helps.
Also, if you're using Jetty for CXF, keep an eye on its threading parameters.

We are using httpcore-ab [1] to load test our web services. Unfortunately, you cannot change the payload for each test, but it works well for us.
