Hi,
We used our Swiki for a university course, 50+ students, with heavy load
especially in the beginning of the semester. We had some problems with
crashing the Swiki, but, as far as we could track it down, they were mainly
due to instability of the Solaris Squeak VM. We moved to a Linux box
afterwards and didn't have problems anymore. I don't have any real
statistics on how many students were working at the same time, etc.
We were (and are still) using Comanche 4.6/Swiki 11.
Just to give some experience report.
Cheers,
Sander
