is there any data on how well a drupal system would hang in there with say 50hits every second (24/7) on a fairly complex site. Would it scale there at all and if so what kind of hardware would be required? I know this is all vague depending on exact specifications but I'm just looking for estimates.

Marking this for future reference. We are having scalability problems now that may extend into the hits per second on some of our busier web communities.
