[EP-tech] Re: large-scale repositories?

Are there any large-scale EPrints repos out there?
(by large scale, I mean 100,000+ accessible records)
we've about 40.000 record in two repository (with 10.000 record with full text)
I think the big problem is in Apache delivery files (also you've to tune it for Perl and both static content...), there should be a away to serve files without using perl, or in a minimal way. Another big problem is updating views, takes a lot of time and I had to disable some of the because it takes ages (days) do regenerate/update the view.
The site is often at load 1, 1.5, most of the time serving pdfs outside. It works but not perfect. 






The database technology will cope with up to 2 million records, but I
don't think the rest of EPrints will cope :D
... but what's in use, in practice?
