There are (of course) limits. I don't know what 'large scale' means in
your case. For Daisy, I'd say managing tens of thousands of documents
should not be a problem, but hundreds of thousands will probably be. See
earlier discussions on query performance.

Maybe also relevant, Daisy currently doesn't support any load balancing
of the repository server, nor fail over. You can let many Wiki
instancess connect to one repository though.
