Uhhmm, I would guess drupal.org to best fit answer for that question and you can see the performance for yourself. Now it is run by top notch server guru's who know how to tune the performance which is what you need for a heavy hitting site.
And I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Drupal.org is not a stock Drupal installation but has been modified to aid its performance.

If you're looking for drupal performance, look at Mercury or Pressflow. Those are great places to start.

This comes up a lot and logically and technically I don't really find pressing co-relation between number of nodes and performance of the site. I always view performance as types of pages on the site (panels, views, full node), types and number of modules used, type of traffic (authenticated vs anonymous) but have failed to find reasons that a site with more number of nodes will suffer performance wise in a considerable way, yes the table size would be large, number of rows will be more so yeah there is lag in seek time but really that doesn't matter much I feel ( and I may be totally off ).
To cut short, is there a rationale to co-relate number of nodes to performance? If yes, in what ways. I might be missing something really basic, but then yeah I have been asked this many times and I usually dont give much weight-age to number of nodes. I feel its more imp to asses num and types of modules used, types of pages on the site ( is the site too much panels, views dependent ) and type of traffic.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
P.S My experience so far is with a site around 100-110k nodes.

In my experience with a large database-driven web-site (custom, non-drupal, with several tables in the 20-400 million rows range), the query construction/table layout is much more important than the number of entries in the tables (to a certain point, of course, the server needs to be able to handle large tables like this).
So, I totally agree with Dipen, that the type of pages and the type of traffic are more important for the performance of a site than the number of nodes.
Switching on the query log using the development module helps pinpointing slow performing tasks. And if the site warrants it (either high traffic site or the possibility of re-using the module in a number of similar sites), it might be better for performance to create a custom module with specific functionality.

The only place where node count would have a strong negative correlation to performance would be if you had some inefficient, unindexable queries. In that case, more nodes/records => slower queries. If your queries can all leverage proper indexes, however, then you should be able to scale to a few hundred thousand nodes, or a million nodes, without too much trouble. My largest site is closing in on 500k nodes, and all of the performance problems I've ever run into have been due to bad/stupid queries or brain-dead PHP code. (I recall CCK in D5 does a select on all nodes that a nodereference could possibly point to for validation. If you have 400,000 nodes, that will die. That's not an SQL problem, that's a CCK in Drupal 5 was brain-dead stupid problem. <g>)
If your site is mostly anonymous, then that doesn't matter much as most pages will be cached anyway. Throw varnish in front of it and you will rarely even be bootstrapping Drupal.
If you need to get more performance out of a site for authenticated users, switch to memcache for caching (saves wear and tear on the SQL DB), leverage Views caching, and build your site with Panels to get the per-pane caching options. (Page caching has no effect for authenticated users.)
There's a TON that goes into performance optimization. Content size is way down on the list. :-)

Thanks larry and ursula for your comments.
The reason I asked it was that lot of times on highperformance drupal group and on mailing list people ask for performance recommendations citing number of nodes and nobody seemed to correct them or mention that number of nodes doesn't affect performance as much as other factors do (in fact upto certain high number, it doesn't affect performance at all)

I suspect that's because it's the easiest number available to define "site size". It just happens to be a particularly useless one. :-)
Expects anonymous hits/second and authenticated hits/second are far far more useful metrics. The next important consideration is site complexity, which has no easily-measured value. (How many views, how complex they are, how many on one page, whether they're cacheable or not, how often content will be updated, how many shared fields there are, etc. all go into "complexity".)
Perhaps someone should make a practice of correcting that misconception in the High Performance group. :-)
