body id is currently signed int, so the maximum number is 2147483647, which is definitely more that would fit into RAM. > 2.

Those who have done large simulations (Bruno, Janek?) can respond from experience. For the timestep, it will be in the order of elastic wave propagating over the distance of particle diameter. E.g. for concrete with particles of 1mm and 4000m/s, it would give some 2.5e-7s, i.e. 250ns (am I wrong here?). There is dynamic timestepper that will adjust dt based on stiffnesses of interactions.
