Single node can manage about 18K req/sec keeping sub 10ms/req latency.
This was benchmarked with system that had 4core, 3.1GHz CPU.
Each login is usually 3 requests so this translates to 6000 logins/sec.
Results are same for two node cluster.
What comes to memory there is only one rule: The whole dataset much fit
in memory or the performance dies. In the benchmarks 4 windows x 5 integer
fields with 1M keys used 2GB of RAM.
