The server couldn't care less, a 1 GB RAM / ancient video card client had minor hick-ups (1second-ish lag every minute or so). It took the little guy 22 minutes to run across the map (probably about an hour to walk it). The entire team ended up watching in disbelief, counting the minutes and cheering. It was fun. On a production box "immense world" becomes quite the possibility.
