Hello Christophe, that's easy: The more you got, the better it is ;)
More serious: It is hard, if not impossible, to tell. This very much depends on your use case and how you intend to use BaseX in your process. As a traditional database and having lots of read/write access, you are most likely I/O bound. However, you can also do complex operations using XQuery, so you could be CPU bound. I find it almost always beneficial to use SSDs instead of traditional HDDs, but again: If you never touch the disk at all, this wouldn't make a difference (but it also decreases the BaseX startup time, which is nice). The use cases just differs to much for BaseX - you can use BaseX embedded into your smartphone application or on a large zServer, so it is really though to give a general advice. For a practicable approach I would always recommend you run your application at some standard server and take a look using Java profiling where BaseX is bound and then increase the according component.
