The upper limit to the number of cluster members is Integer.MAX_VALUE I suspect you'll hit other limits before then. Which limits, and when you hit them, is highly dependent on your application and cluster configuration. Optimum performance depends on how you define it. If you mean highest throughput and fastest response time then the optimum number of cluster nodes is 1.
