So what is the largest ZODB (in terms of persistent objects contained in
it)?  Does anyone have any metrics?

It probably won't meet their needs either, but the latest version of
DirectoryStorage is supposed to be compatible with Zope3.
It might mitigate the startup time and index memory consumption issues
somewhat, especially if they can use reiserfs.

I see other good replies but one factor you must keep in mind for ZODB is
that it keeps the index of all objects in memory.  With 100 billion 
transaction objects, you're going to need a LOT of RAM and have a large
startup-time.

I've always wondered why ZODB didn't offer an option of storing the object
index in a BTREE, but I guess its the performance issue of potential 
additional disk accesses.
