[Using Sakai] Maximum members in a Sakai Site

[Marilyn Dispensa]

Hi,
I was wondering what the maximum # of participants or students are 
possible in a Sakai Site.
For our first year reading initiative, we have a request to have the 
entire freshman class of 1600 be enrolled in one site.
Does anyone have experience managing  projects or classes in Sakai with 
1000 + participants? Could you comment on peformance? Managing large 
numbers of users in groups, gradebook, assessments.
I've already noticed that the "drop box" cannot be searched for a 
particular user. It would be nice to be able to sort the drop boxes by 
participant groups.
