Are there some big websites using the G2 for multiuser galleries / portfolios showing photos? I just wonder, how big the G2 could be to work fast and no problems.

HUGE sites, yes.

It all depends on what you want to do and how big it gets. Gallery can handle it, but if you have a huge site with tons of visitors the hardware will be in question :)

care2.com uses a very highly customized (in house) version of G2 on some very powerful hardware. But Joe7's dog photo site for example isn't run on much of anything special, though it is a dedicated server:
