In my experience you should not have any problem to
manage that number of users even if you have a huge
number of rules with your machine. But you can always
make some tests to see if the machine slows down, but

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
