How well does SPT scale?
One of the SPT development installations at Scout is normally loaded with 15,000 records and runs on a 500 MHz Celeron system (circa 1999), with no noticeable degradation in performance. The two CPU-intensive operations in SPT are updating the search database and updating the recommender system (both of which are done when adding or editing records), and faster hardware may be desirable to ensure that those operations happen in a timely manner.
