Although I agree that 2000 messages would be pretty unbearable on a 
single page, I've recently become a big proponent of mod_gzip on my
Apache server.  A file that used to take 60 seconds to load on a
56.6K modem now takes around 7 seconds...

Now you can push the envelope and have 16,000 messages on a single
page.  :)
