Kerberos Database Size

Does anyone know how large a Kerberos database on a single KDC can get 
before performance becomes an issue?  For example, would a Kerberos 
database be able to handle 750,000 principals?  1,000,000 principals?  
Hardware is a major factor, but assuming the KDC is on a "relatively 
fast" hardware configuration, are there any other limiting factors?
