I would like to hear from the experts if there is a theoretical limit on the amount of installed apps that a single web2py instance can handle. This is not a question about improving performance or scaling: there is a lot of advices in the book regarding that (lazy tables, reduce models, caching, run compiled apps, etc). Instead, I'm wondering if there is something I should consider before installing thousands of apps within the same web2py instance (assuming the server has enough resources, like RAM and storage).
The reason I'm wondering this is because I have a single web2py instance that holds a lot of apps (actually, it is the same app installed several times with different name), and the number of times that app is installed is growing. I made a simple test and inspected the "request" object of a request that arrives to one of those apps, and I notice this property: global_settings:app_folders :

apps, but *request.global_settings.app_folders* has a list of the path of all the installed apps in that web2py instance. Something similar happens with *request.global_settings.db_sessions*. So it made me wonder, is there a theoretical limit? Could the number of installed apps affect performance at a signifficant level? Thank you very much in advance.
