That's impossible to answer.
The CPU is just one of the things that limits your performance.
If your firewall is used just for packet switching, the speed of your processor is not very significant at all.
However, if you are using other services such as HTTP Proxy, AntiVirus, SPAM filtering it places a greater load on the CPU.
It depends on how much activity these services are creating rather than the number of users connected.
The best thing you can do to increase performance is add more RAM (never let your system go into Swap) and get a faster Hard Disk.

To give you an idea, just think back a few years when Hosting companies were using 600mhz processors to host 200 domains on one shared hosting server. Packet switching is not very processor intensive.
