We usually don't run any load test before the releases. But there is a  
good testing tool for web application load tests: JMeter.

Usually none, because we don't develop in production environments.  
Load and resource usage is usually optimized on user feedback. I  
personally run profiling tests every once in a while or when a certain  
problem is reported.
