Hi J, >From everything I've read and from personal experience, Javascript/CSS- heavy applications, including those based on SIMILE, benefit from the Chrome browser. As to the size of the database, it kind of depends. If you're smart and tricky in the application architecture, you can slice and dice a very large database into manageable data-sets. For the Timeline widget, for example, people on this forum have intercepted the scroll event and loaded a new data-set on-the-fly.
If you can't/aren't willing to architect something like that, you'll probably hit a performance ceiling at round 500 records, give or take, depending on length of values and number of fields.
