It depends on a whole lot of different factors so it's hard to give an
exact number. One of the important factors is how your social api
service interface is implemented for instance, what kind of caching
schemas your using, etc.
However in practice I found that in my situation, just to give you a
rough ballpark kind of number, one off the rack Dell server (single
quad core xeon) can support some 200-300 QPM before latency starts to
become something of an issue.
To achieve that you do need to take very good care of the caching
layers in your social api code, make sure you run either Zend Platform
(commercial) or APC (free) for byte code caching, and make sure
everything is generally properly configured and tuned.
Hope that helps !
