That depends ... set up correctly u probably wont run into performance  
issues. 
 
Last week however someone asked me to look at a system php/mysql system  
performing badly. As it turned out one query had multiple joins on  
different field types (x.id (int(11)) = y.id (varchar(255))). As a  
result a single query took over 3 seconds where after fixing this it  
took it's normal 0.00x seconds. 
 
A few years ago, as an experiment, I set up a fulltext index on a table  
with over 500.000 text rows (hehe). An insert on that table then took me  
over 15 minutes :-) 
 
So without knowing exactly what you want to do, the source code and the  
database design I cant really help.
