How many photos?...

This is not a problem now so I'm not in the "problem" forum. I'm curious, though, what the outward limit is on how many photos Gallery can handle.

My kid's soccer team has 1,100 photos ( <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://rcubarcelona.org" TARGET="_blank">rcubarcelona.org</A><!-- BBCode End --> ) and this is just the pre-season tournaments. I expect to have more than 4,000 photos by the end of the year.

Right now I'm getting about 60 visitors a day, with peaks as high as 190 after tournaments. The daily traffic averages 27MB with peaks of 87MB. It is possible this will increase as the site becomes wider known among the teams in the league, but I don't expect traffic to increase substantially.

At what point should I expect to see noticeable showdown caused by sheer number of photos? Also, will the arrival of G2 and its mySQL database relieve or hinder this problem?
