Limitation and Upper boundaries of SharePoint 2007

Hi all,
I was very curious to know the limitation upper boundaries of SharePoint 2007 in standard environment. Then I came across nice Microsoft very informative blog here is a link Click here

Guidelines for acceptable performance

Notes

Scope of impact when performance degrades

Site collection

50,000 per Web application

Total farm throughput degrades as the number of site collections increases.

Farm

Web site

250,000 per site collection

You can create a very large total number of Web sites by nesting the subsites. For example, 100 sites, each with 1000 subsites, is 100,000 Web sites. The maximum recommended number of sites and subsites is 125 sites with 2,000 subsites each, for a total of 250,000 sites.

Site collection

Subsite

2,000 per Web site

The interface for enumerating subsites of a given Web site does not perform well as the number of subsites surpasses 2,000.

Site view

Document

5 million per library

You can create very large document libraries by nesting folders, using standard views and site hierarchy. This value may vary depending on how documents and folders are organized, and by the type and size of documents stored.

Library

Item

2,000 per view

Testing indicates a reduction in performance beyond two thousand items. Using indexing on a flat folder view can improve performance.

List view

Document file size

50MB (2GB max*)

File save performance is proportional to the size of the file. The default maximum is 50 MB. This maximum is enforced by the system, but you can change it to any value up to 2 GB.

Library, file save performance

List

2,000 per Web site

Testing indicates a reduction in list view performance beyond two thousand entries.

List view

Field type

256 per list

This is not a hard limit, but you might experience list view performance degradation as the number of field types in a list increases.

List view

Column

2,000 per document library

4,096 per list

This is not a hard limit, but you might experience library and list view performance degradation as the number of columns in a document library or list increases.

Library and list view

Web Part

50 per page

This figure is an estimate based on simple Web Parts. The complexity of the Web Parts dictates how many Web Parts can be used on a page before performance is affected.
