I'm trying to plan for large scale. For a large company managing many DITA publications you could have 100s of 1000s of individual topics and 1000s of maps that organize those topics.
So if there are 100,000 topics and an average of 10 links to each topic (definitely an upper bound in normal practice) then there would be 1 million where-used records (one for each link to a given topic). So if managing 1 million documents is not a problem then I should be fine.
