This module updates Drupal's taxonomy so that it supports much larger taxonomies. We currently have this running on a demo site which contains a taxonomy with over two million terms (although no modules currently support editing/viewing such a large taxonomy).
The Drupal 7 version of this module is a ground up rewrite, no longer requiring a patch of Drupal's core taxonomy (due to the fact that we can now override a core module with our own).
Rebuilding of the nested set data for a vocabulary is now done using the batch API. This means that the install process for the module is much simpler (There is no longer a requirement for MySQL, nohup, Linux, or anything else).
The module should be combined with the Big Autocomplete TAXonomy module, making it possible to edit large taxonomies, and tag content with a large taxonomy, although this isn't a dependency.
Development of this module was carried out by Simon Rycroft and funded in part by the EDIT project
6.x
I sadly no longer have the time to support the 6.x branch of this module. It works well, but only if configured correctly on a server that supports exec/nohup. For this reason, I'm afraid I have closed all 6.x related issues. For those stuck with Drupal 6.x, you can still download the 6.x version of this module from the "All releases" page.
