  I can't speak for the other developers, but it all depends on what 'high user 
load' is.  That threshold differs from machine to machine.  On a P200 w/64 
Megs, I can connect 1,000 users, and have an average thoughput of 20-40 
messages per second processed overall.  Bear in mind, this is on a machine 
running X, etc, so it's not able to use 100% of the system resources..
