What do you mean with "standard userfolders"?

We use "GUF" (Generic User Folder), users are in an Oracle database.
We currently have 2.000 users but the approach scales very well.
I am not worried at all when we will have 10.000 users in 6 to 12
months.

Per request we have three Oracle SQL queries, each usually served
within 30 to 40 msec, almost independent from the number of
users.
I recently optimized GUF a bit to cache user objects.
This saves about 0.1 sec per request.
