[Mailman-Developers] scaling issues

[Scott]

I'm setting up a list for mailman that has 27k subscribers.

Just wanted to note that the first scaling issue i ran into was mass
subscribing the members. A process calling "ApprovedAddMember" for
each member was called, ran for many many many hours on a solaris
sparc box with 128m ram and only made it through 6k subscribers.

so i added them by hand.

This should be interesting, but hey, after it's all over, we will all
know exactly what should be done to make mailman more scalable.
