I think this is an excellent question and one that crosses the open
source and proprietary boundary.

In our experience, there are at least eight scale variables:

 - total size of the managed corpus

 - percentage of the total corpus that's "in play" at any given time

 - retail hits per second

 - content (e.g., page, page fragment, and "object") cache-ability

 - aggregate outbound bandwidth for non-streaming content

 - aggregate outbound bandwidth for streaming content

 - content editor/author/management hits per second

 - system-generated events- or "hits-" per second
     (auto keywording, feeds management, etc.)

 - user interface scaling (this is hard to define but important)

Others?
