How much can YaBBSE Handle?

I have a forum with:

I'm sure I'm nowhere near maxing out but I'm just wondering how much YaBBSE can take before it starts to slow the server down.

I have a 1.3ghz with 512kb or memory running linux.

Any suggestions?

Here's some info from a forum that upgraded for one of Jeff's friends.

It has had over 350,000 hits during the past month and had almost 23,000 yesterday (approx. 1 every 4 seconds average). There doesn't seem to be much lag with the board

Here is one of my days and it didn't even dent the server.  I also have the keys added, but I have over a gig in memory on the server

I have had times with more members online and it doesn't slow down.

Hey - it's linux, not Windows! It has a very minimal memery usage
