    I am curious myself. We are a university that has used WP subdomain for 1 year now. This is our setup:
    3 dual cpu servers running Apache/WP
    1 dual (maybe quad) cpu server running mysql 5.1 (myisam)

    130 blog sites, adding about 10 sites per month
    1300 tables in database
    2 million+ hits/month (old stats) = medium traffic

    Running with SuperCache. So far so good =)

    Well… WordPress.com uses it.

    I read http://wordpress.org/support/topic/performance-of-wpmu-vs-single-installs?replies=10 that the performance is the same with 1000 separated blogs and 1000 sites in multisite.

    This is correct.

    Only one database to manage 10000 tables is not the same to have 1000 databases with 10 tables, isn’t it?

    No, it’s not the same. At that many tables, I’d be looking into SharDB to split my DB up a little.
