[OAI-implementers] How many records should typically be returned over OAI-PMH?

[Dan Stowell]

Hussein,

Thanks for this - my 500-record responses are about half a megabyte, so 
that's probably a good size to go with.

(It implies that my 2000-record responses were about 2MB, causing the RE to 
choke.)
