Ciao TonyM & all interested I do think that a "Rules Of Thumb" note on SCALABILITY could be very useful.
The issue is expressing it correctly. So much of performance is an EMPIRICAL issue, that without testing variant use cases, you can make TW look worse than it is. That is not a good idea. To give an example: Whilst 8,000 Tiddlers of Tweets with tags that rely on filtering gets very slow, a TW with addresses for 8,000 external images of which the next displayed is calculated via a random number it is fine. In the first case you got a lot of processing & rendering. In the second you don't. To be useful guidance on Scalability I think needs informing by testing by USE CASE.
