I agree with Dmitry. I'd say that if you really have too many BE users 
that it gets a bit complicated to manage (the same happens with FE users 
even if those may be stored in different sysfolders), I'd consider using 
a dedicated extension to manage them more smoothly or propose patch to 
enhance the existing user management module. For instance the way 
phpmyadmin does for permissions. That is, as long as they are "few" 
users, they are all shown in the list, after a given numbers they are 
"categorized" by username's first letter.

Furthermore, you may have seen an extension I published quite recently 
(mr_usrgrpmgmt) to manage users associated to a group and not the other 
way around. We found out that they are limitation too - that I'll have 
to tackle with - with the concept of those two lists to select records 
from a set (the TYPO3 'select' TCA field with two lists). As the number 
of records grows, for instance with >1000 FE users, the management 
becomes quite unusable as this list eats up resources and is not 
efficient anymore. Yet another way to enhance TYPO3 ;-)

See you @ T3DD10
