I've submitted a patch that improves node bulkupdate performance drastically on my system (40k nodes, 20k users, 15k terms) and as a result, I am able to easily run 2000 nodes per bulk update.

Updated pathauto.module line:

   '#title' => t('Maximum number of objects to alias in a bulk update'), '#size' => 4, '#maxlength' => 4,

Performance patch referenced: http://drupal.org/node/76172

pathauto.module patch attached.

Makes complete sense to me - committed. I think I kept it so low earlier to be cautious, but the warning text on that page explains what to do in case of problems so I think this is reasonable.

Thanks!
