    Umbraco Scalability...how big is too big for an umbraco.config file

    Looking at creating a website with the possibility of a large number amount of data repeated across multilingual sites. 

    I have had a look at this discussion: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/4124-Umbraco-scalability. But was wondering if anyone had any more input. Specifically, at what size (node or file) is there a slowdown of an umbraco.config file compared to a bespoke database solution to hold the custom objects? 

    Also, does anyone have any links or further information on this: "The chaps (Condenast and Xeed) that build Wired.co.uk/wired.it done a great presentation at CodeGarden09 on performance and scalability. They also work with Vogue. I'm unsure on the raw number of pages they had in these implementations, they had a lot of media provided via a CDN."

    If you haven't ever run into problems because of size and you have built larger sites, how many nodes are in the site?

    Maybe this presentation is of use to you http://www.slideshare.net/warrenbuckley/pm-an-umbraco5th-presentation-pete

    How large is large? We are running one install which has over 150,000 nodes now, an average node containing 8 pieces of data.

    In the current version of Umbraco the backoffice does slow down a little with this amount of nodes, this is most noticeable on loading of content tree's. However I do believe this is something that will be fixed in the next release.

    I do believe there are ways of using Lucene to deliever content, however I don't know very much about this. I'm sure someone will come along who can give you a far clear answer than mine! 

    Hope it helps a little bit though! Lau

    Laurence, thanks that does help a lot and it is nice to know you have a 150,000 node site with 8 pieces of content with each node.

    Found the video which goes with the lecture which could be useful as well.
