Right now I only have just over 800 books loaded......by author. The only thing I've noticed, is that it takes a little longer to come out of its 'sleep' mode.
According to the Kindle page on Amazon, you can
Carry Your Library: Holds up to 1,500 books
The Kindle DX can hold up to 3500 books.

I assumed that Amazon's specs were limited by available memory based on an average size book. If a Kindle 2 can do 1,500, and a Kindle DX 3,500, then why not more with more memory? The processors are the same (Freescale 532 MHz, ARM-11), so it's not a question a processing ability. Maybe Amazon will provide a PC-based index function to speed this process up?
I also have a guide to expanding the Kindle 2's memory on my
site, but specialized tools (and skills) are required.
