At the MEG experiment at PSI we run with 5 front-ends (later 8), each running at
about 10 MB/sec. This gives an overall rate of 50MB/sec without any problem. The
CPU load on the backend (2.6 GHz dual Xenon) is 30% for the event builder and 26%
for the logger. The DANCE experiment at Los Alamos runs 17 front-ends if I'm not
mistaken (John?).
