LARGE single-system Cyrus installs?

[Rafael Mahecha]

We run a single dell 2850 (2-dual @ 2.8GHz, 8gb ram and 900gb internal).
have about 29k users... but our message transfer load is much smaller than
what you describe... may be in the order of 10k.... the systems is at 80+ idle
most of the time.

We will have this setup for about 1 yr now... no
major problems.
