Hi, this has not been measured yet in detail. But the process takes about 30Mb. On disk data size of askbot.org is about 100Mb.

Askbot will not handle 1000 writes per second without additional engineering and scaling for multiple machines has not been worked out yet.

Regarding your question about posts/second: for comparison - as of May 2, 2011 Twitter peaked at ~5000 posts per second. YahooAnswers Yahoo answers gets 10 posts per second. Probably no forum on Earth will ever get to 1000 posts per second.

On a dual core machine you can get to about 10 no-cache reads and writes per second. So even without extensive optimizations askbot will be able to serve quite large community.

At 10 views per second, assuming a user makes 10 page loads per session - you can serve up to 60000 unique visitors in 24h. A very crude estimate of course.

We plan long term development, therefore improvements will come.
