Our FSFS empty repositories are 124K or so (according to du -hsc *).
The big issue (in my mind) of having 100s of repositories is that it
becomes a large administration headache (well, until you manage to
script everything). It can be more complex for the users as well.
We put our repository databases on a separate partition (ext3). Which
will give us the flexibility of tuning the file system.
