phpBB Discussion • Re: size of a forum?

Hello all. My first post. I hope I am not violating any posting rules by posing the following question:

I am about to be asked to help a friend rescue an old instance of phpBB that is suddenly running very slowly. I don't know quite what I'm getting into but I am a computer professional so I *think* I'm going to discover that it's his ancient customizations that are finally giving up the ghost. (Or maybe his database is running out of room or who knows what....)

But first I have to orient myself and perhaps help my friend calm down a bit. Thus, this very basic question:

The old forum says of itself: Total posts 427341 • Total topics 56511 • Total members 3750

Is any of those numbers extraordinarily large? They don't sound it to me but I'm a beginner here.

Thanks for any guidance.
