I use it as data manager of a research institution to manage several bibliometric databases. The one I am building at the moment (busy importing raw data for the past three months) contains information about more than 43 million pubications. One of the tables (many to many cross references) has more than 3000 million records.
Web2py provides the user interface to this data for researchers as well as for database assistants who work on cleaning the data. I have in the past used web2py for some other projects too.
