My best guess is on a single server, like 1 2.4Ghz/1GB ram SCSI disks 
you will hit the limit at 20.000 pages.
After that I am not sure. We have about 1500 pages online, not that much 
I know.
As long as you stick to the above you are indeed fine. Means you have a 
static website, nothing dynamic to it...

Also at some point page generation is going to be come a problem.
- When you have 20.000 pages and page generation time is long (at my 
site +5 seconds) then indexing
such a thing is a problem, for example by google etc... Means like that 
indixing this takes up a complete day to complete. (27 hours) saturating 
your server (I know google is smart and spread the load... but there is 
more then just google).
- collapsing en uncollpasing page trees is going to be  prob at some 
point, loading a complete big tree...and rendering the icons in your 
browser when page tree is big.

I know about the cache... but we frequently need to delete the cache due 
to the fact that we update our rotating banner
and change items throughout the whole site at once, not just a single page.

So for my right now 20.000 is maximum for a single server.....

Plently enough for most people actually :)

Ries
