I don't know ;-). It's just a hunch.

At least a hundred registered developers + possible anonymous downloads. 
I don't know about others but my cvs repo is close to 100MB (and I also 
have a smaller subversion repo) so the worst possible scenario would be 
converting 100*100MB of CVS repositories and that would give at least 
10GB database file. That just does not seem right for one file... I'd 
much rather have a hundred smaller files.

Ok. What is the max database size and number of concurrent users that is 
known to perform "well enough"?

Ok, good.

Thanks.
