There is no "known limit", and such a limit would also depend on other
variables such as the system itself. There is also no material on how to
debug such a thing because generally you have to examine the complete code
path, profile it, and have an understanding of the complete thing to know
where issues may occur. I haven't done profiling of this so I don't know
the areas with any certainty of where there may be bottlenecks. I can only
guess.
