At the moment when Pootle first starts up it does a whole lot of
indexing of files. This is faster than it used to be, but still should
really happen in the background, as this information is not needed for
startup.
I just mention this so that if it seems really slow you understand why
at the moment (with that many files). Once the indexing is made to
happen in the background startup will be a lot faster
I would recommend you start off with a subset to give yourself a feel -
or have two different setups, one that will be for playing around with
the interface etc, and another one for testing the scalability with many
files and projects
I'll be listening for any questions or problems you have...
