Mass Quantities

I really, really, REALLY don't want to start some sort of pissing match here, but I too have a little more than 6000 tracks at this time (and the number grows daily :D ).  I am just curious as to what kind of numbers the larger collections out there on Netjuke have and how the system is handling such large numbers.

At the rate my comrades and I are building our system, we hope to be at 10,000+ in the near future.  It would be great to know ahead of time what words of wisdom those of you with larger collections might have.

Thanks!

And many, many thanks to the developers for such an excellent system.
