Easily. You might want to look at alternative user folder like exUserFolder
to handle that many users. Things like ZEO and the all powerful RAM Cache
Zope can easily handle that load
on a commodity box. Once it gets really huge you'll want to start
looking at things like Squid and other Cachers.

Cheers.
