First off, even a list of one user will affect performance. It'll
probably be negligible unless many messages/day are sent to it,
though. But the real answer depends upon, at least:
o which list management software you're using
o which MTA you're using
o what kind of connectivity you have
o what OS you're running
o what hardware you're running on
o how busy the system is with other lists and other functions

Some list managers have arbitrary limits, especially for "lite"
versions. There are probably more expensive versions available that
can handle larger lists. 1000 isn't all that large.
