Midgard itself is not a problem, back in the days of first version
someone ran simulation on numbers of page impressions server per second
on rather modest hardware (of that day, which nowadays is antique) the
result were very encouraging.

But unless the content is very clearly structured then managing it will
become a problem after 2 or so thousand articles (or whatever object
it's stored in) but this is more general problem, I'm pretty sure the
painfull number of articles in one topic in Nadmin is closer to 500 than
1000 but this is solved by good design and topic layout. Of course
custom admin interfaces could be designed to handle huge numbers of
articles in single topic if it would be neccessary for some reason.

The thing to remember is that if you have insane amounts of articles in
single topic then listing those articles will take a lot of server
memory (since it's a single SELECT), again organizing the articles in
sensible topic structures makes life easier. Managing thousands (let
alone tens of thousands) "pieces of content" is a challenge with any
system (usually not because of the systems limitarions) but with correct
content structure and processes it's definitely doable.

I remember seeing a posting on the list arhives where someone was
running a bunch of load-balancing basic servers running Midgard all
connecting to a huge database (of several hundreds of gigabytes).
