There is no window of time that swiki flags. Instead, it sees if the version you are saving is created from an older version of the page than is current.
We've used Swikis for classes with 100+ students without too much trouble. On pages where you expect simultaneous editing, you may want to use "add to the page" things (just start a line with +). These will not lose contributions. We run our servers on Linux and find it to be stable. I don't know about Mac. I would recommend making sure that your swiki is being backed up regularly. Hard drives can fail (especially when used in a server). Peace and Luck!
