	We have developed a web-based implementation of BLAST as part of
the
	CAMERA project (http://calit2.camera.net).  Although we realize
that
	there are a number of parallel implementations of BLAST,  I am
	interested in the capabilities of web-based deployments of
BLAST.
	Specifically, there capacities as measured in terms of:
	   - Maximum number of query sequences
	   - Maximum total size of the query sequences
	   - Maximum number or data volume of hits returned  (NCBI seems
to be
	500)
	   - Maximum Total Search Time  (NCBI is 1 Hr)
	
	In CAMERA's case, the numbers today are:
	   - Maximum number of query sequences -- we've tested to 250k
	   - Maximum total size of the query sequences -- we've tested
to 100Mbp
	   - Maximum number or data volume of hits returned  (we've
tested to
	several hundred thousand)
	   - Maximum Total Search Time  (None so far)
