Okay,

Thanks for the replies. It was a genuine question coming from some internal discussions on scalability and performance. We are absolutely aware that the hardware requirements would be more than significant to obtain this type of performance, but that is almost a side-issue.

Fortunately then, it appears that reaching this level of performance is unlikely, I say fortunately because that means there must be a market for our solution!

Thanks guys,
