It's not users per se, but simultaneous number of connections. For
instance, 10,000 requests (for a single resource, a single GET) per day is
easily handled by just about any webserver (one request per 8 seonds).
10,000 requests per hour (a bit under 3 per second) sounds doable on a run
of the mill server.
By the time you get to 10,000 requests per minute (or 167 per second)
*now* you're in the realm of performance tuning and a careful analysis if
what you are trying to do. 10,000 requests *per second* is a whole other
ballgame (at this point, you've outstripped the capacity of two T-1s and I
doubt you'll even be able to use Apache at this point [1]). But note what I
said: 10,000 simultaneous connections (that is, 10,000 active TCP/IP
connections [2]).
Now, you may have 10k users, but if only a few hundred are making requests
*at any one time* then there's probably not much to worry about.
