There are at least several pools in existence that are large than this with a 
single central manager.  In fact, one of them is here at UW CS.  At the 
current moment, our pool has 930 VMs reporting to it.  There are larger pools 
in the wild.

For large pools such as this, the central manager is typically not the 
bottleneck.
