Maybe it is time to write down some guidelines that you should keep in mind while working with SharePoint 2007, or you could just ignore them as well. I found these guidelines in Blogs, articles on the internet but I wanted to group them together.
Limit
# site collections in a web application
50.000
# sites in a site collection
250.000
# subsites nested in a site
2000
# lists
# items in a list
10.000.000
# documents in library
2.000.000
# documents in folder
# documents in index
50.000.000
Maximum document file size
2 GB
# search scopes
1000
# user profiles
5.000.000
These guidelines are not hard limits, meaning if you have 2005 lists on a site, your site will still work. The only thing that could happen by adding more items is that your performance could decrease.
