I don't know if you're aware of it, but there's a project/product called "Magnolia" that's based on JackRabbit. It "solved" its scalability issue by embedding a repository (actually a set of 4) in every server that serves up read-only content, and all changes to that content get done through a single "master" server (which it calls the "private" server) which then updates all the "slave" servers (which it calls "public" servers). The downside, of course, of such data duplication is that keeping the different repositories in step is difficult, and in Magnolia's case, the linkage between private and public data is fragile. However, it's a fairly simple answer that works for situations which are almost entirely read-only (or where write performance is not important). There is also at least one commercial JCR implementation that promises performance and scalability in exchange for your money. I don't know how much better that might be compared to a base JackRabbit though, although I expect a favourable outcome would be valuable to their marketing dept.
