Re: [ADMIN] Limits on Tables?

Hi there,

Okay, I've created a test.  The test has 100 projects, and each project
has 500 entries.  So basically it created 500 new tables, and 50000
records.  Speed difference is negligible.  I do not notice a slowdown,
although I have not done actual timing tests.

Today, I will add 50 more projects with 1000 entries each (again 50000
records), and essentialy double the size of the database, but not
drastically increase the number of tables.
