Hi Jonathan,
In the Create Database dialog of the GUI, you can also specify a local directory as input; it will be recursively parsed.
In our own set of use cases, we have one database instance with appr. 8 million documents, but in most cases, the number is much smaller. There are some sample statistics in our documentation [1], they show you what is possible.
Hope this helps, Christian

If I have a set of related documents (a text, a lexicon, frequency counts, a discourse analysis, etc), how should I decide when to put more than one document in a single database at different paths, as opposed to putting one document in each database?
When I create a database from the GUI, it seems to prefer one document per database. Should I take that as a hint?
