I am looking for people's experiences with Distributed Smalltalk as to
how well it scales with a very large and widely dispersed distributed
object architecture. Say a couple hundred sites, each with a few thousand
objects, with an average 100 instances of each object.
 
I have heard that DST so far has not proven exceptional scaleability. Any
comments?

Thanks.
