What's the maximum number of categories we can have?

I’m curious what happens when you get up into the 1000+ categories range.

Honestly probably nothing terrible, unless you are admin and have access to 1000+ categories. At that point we would ship you every single category json in your first page, the categories page would get slow both server side and client side.

@sam 如果我理解正确的话，假设除管理员外的所有用户都可以访问有限数量的类别（比如说每个用户少于 20 个），那么拥有大量类别（10K、20K……100K）的唯一后果将是影响管理员页面的性能（重力待定），甚至是非常具体的页面：主页和类别页面。用户性能和体验将不受影响。
我说得对吗？
