I wrote an article about this at SIFPlace.com and what happens especially when you start sharing applications between schools at the LA and RBC level. (It's the one on SIF scalability)

The short of it is that if you had (if I remember correctly) 10 shared "pull mode" applications (in a multi-zone environment) at the RBC level and they polled once a minute, you would have something like 3,000,000 messages an hour going back and forth on your network before you transfer any data.

Not as much of a big deal when everything is local to a school, but becomes significant when two or more schools start sharing things...

have a good one
