For out of the box Exhibit datasets, I've had decent success with datasets of 1000 - 2000 items. Of course, best performance if the data is already in json and doesn't have to be converted from XML, Google Docs, etc... Works fine in Chrome, Opera, Safari and Firefox. Breaks in IE. IE basically hangs and returns the "Stop running this script" popup window with data of any decent size. On one site I had to load a separate reduced dataset just for IE browsers.
