I have been asked this question many times, but perhaps if mention that the 
server has 48 cpu and 256gb of memory, and 10 tb of disk, it might give you an 
idea of the load that is expected.

Subject: Re: Process and sessions overhead

Because curiosity is killing me, what is the requirement to have 1000
sessions, let alone 2000?  That just seems broken to me.
The reason I bring this up is because there isn't just potential
issues at the database level, most OS perform much worse with that
many processes.  Think about the time sharing model when there are
2000 processes to schedule.

I believe that Andrew Holdsworth (my boss) is doing an
"over-processed" demo as part of the IOUG tour which is based off the
one he did for OOW10.

Maybe someone on this list has attended one and can comment.
