What ways can I test how my webpages run? How do I know what levels of usage (cpu and memory are what matters, I’m guessing) are acceptable?
Any advice to get me started?

Steve Souders is an excellent resource for keeping up on web site optimization. I’d suggest following his High Performance Web Sites blog. Here is a recent and thorough article to review: http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2010/05/07/wpo-web-performance-optimization
Steve mentions Speed Tracer and dynaTrace Ajax Edition to test page performance.
Alternatively, you can record load times with Firefox Firebug plugin and/or Webkit’s Developer Tools (Chrome, Safari, etc). Finally, YSlow is an amazing Firefox Firebug Plugin from Yahoo.
