I don't have benchmarks. But, I have several projects running JQuery, Razor, .NET MVC (C#), AJAX. Not to the scale you're tackling.

Advice.. Be sure to think things through and follow best practices. To keep things maintainable be sure to break controllers, views, model into smaller and meaningful groups. When I started, I made the mistake of putting everything into one Home controller, and a ton of views in the shared folder. Was fine at first but when feature creep began, it became a mess and difficult to go back and redesign.

I also use Linq2SQL. I made the mistake of creating models for everything and then realized I could just return the result set from my queries as a model. duh.

If you go .NET MVC and are concerned about performance, these are the things I ran into:

DON'T return partial views that create large blocks of HTML! Be sure to minimize everything. Get rid of all the white space. Use smaller ID names. Take the time to create html that is as light as possible. Return JSON and have the client do some of the work.

Be careful on how you develop your CSS. Don't use a bunch of inline styles, take the time to incorporate into CSS files that you can later minimize.

Same goes for your client side JS. It's tempting to put the JS inside partial views. Keep things organized.

Rendering on IE is horrible. Especially if there are lots of images. Be sure to compress images as much as possible, without losing quality of course.
