How Large of a Database Can Zotero Handle?
If there is any specific information as to how Zotero's performance scales as a function of the size of its database, I would be very interested to know--while I currently have only 8000 or so records in zotero, I already have a 20,000 record set in HistCite that represents how my citation tasks are growing in scope, since it was a 'trial run' for some much larger projects...

You may also run into problems syncing with huge databases, but I don't know what exactly the size limits are there.
It's somewhat faster when it's not the first time (5-8 seconds).
