I'm afraid there's no golden rule (especially with the detailed
requirements you provide :); you may browse thru the FAQ or the
archives to find out suggestions for hardware requirements,
and significantly tips for performance tuning (which may depend
on the system and on ancillary software, e.g. Sleepycay db,
filesystem settings and so).
