We ship consoles with 300+ automatable channels, and in movies like "Pearl 
Harbor", they ALL get used.  Every plane comes in as a separate input and gets 
dynamically attenuated and panned.  Vincent is right; the EQ, dynamics, etc are 
generally snapshot-style but when scenes only last 1/2 second or so, it's 
basically the same thing as dynamic automation.

In order to support automation on such a massive scale, there are automation 
modes that Harrison and others have implemented to make it easier on the mixer. 
 If anyone is interested we can talk about it off-list.

From a GMPI standpoint, it doesn't really matter as it is a Host/UI issue.  We 
just need to make sure that automation of an arbitrary number of parameters is 
supported.
