I have several large gallereis and was wonder how Gallery is when you have an image database of over 500,000 images? I have tried several products, all good, but once I get to the scale I have the databases slow down considerably.

Forums work effortlessly with millions of posts so I know it is possible, any specifics on Gallery and this size?

Thanks again,

care2 has over 1M items and tens of thousands of users.
But they run a modified version of G2 to improve speed. They e.g. removed the image firewall and link to the image files directly.

There are several 100k+ items installations of G2 which run reasonably fast.
Just don't use the useralbums module, since there's a flaw in the G2 permission system which we still have to address which makes G2 scale very badly if useralbums are heavily used.

@forums:
Forums usually don't have post level permissions and don't allow an unspecified number of nested posts / topics.
Yes there are nested forums, but they usually don't do post level permissions.
