How scalable is it?

I don't own the sort of hardware that is likely to suffer from using it, so I can't find the upper limit. Based on first principles about the overhead of locking, and the way lookups occur, I'd guess that a machine with 16 CPUS or more would start to have exponentially less performance (thanks Ingo for
confirming this). <...>

Since version 0.300, scalability improvements have been added that should further improve performance, including NUMA support! No scalability benchmarks on very big machines have been performed on new versions to compare its performance
