The scalability comes in with the fact that CourseAdvisor went from handling 1M to 1.5M users per month, and are experiencing continued growth. From the interview with CourseAdvisor, they are using some interesting techniques to handle the traffic growth. Thanks again for helping me to clarify. Jerret,
