They scale quite well if done right. When you look a DeStar 
(http://www.holgerschurig.de/destar.html) then you see that there is one 
applicationserver (built around Quixote + Medusa) that makes one manager 
connection to Asterisk.

All the HTTP-Based clients use the data from this one session.

When you download the source, look at manager.py which is used, via 
Python's asyncore/asynchat mechanism and make the manager events and 
manager commands available to the clients.
