We've got about 150 agents, 10000 active customers and about 3000
tickets a month. The help desk alone processes 1000 tickets a month.
Works great.

We're currently running the web & e-mail front ends and other stuff on
one server, and the database on another server. Works fine. In a pinch,
one server could probably do both.

With about 60000 tickets in the system, we're doing OK. We've taken no
special measures to reduce database size.
