Ryan and Mark, It might be worthwhile posting up a new page on the wiki with known counts for various Exhibits. I think the ant one I looked at recently was about 650 records, as is my semantic tools one [1] (but it also has thumbnails, which slows presentation).
As far as I know, these are the two largest, but perhaps there are some other big ones that have not yet been documented on this list (or that I overlooked). In any event, a wiki page with some examples might help others to look at the variety being deployed (format, size, facets, images, etc.) and then determine for their own circumstances what a "good" sizing number might be.
