How much is considered heavy traffic?

    Hello,

    Recently I have been seeing many websites provide some soft of badges to embed to their visitor's websites. Some are just static html codes, some are javascripts to display dynamic content.

    Here is my question for the embedding javascript. Isn't that going the cost the server a lot in terms of bandwidth? Imaging 100 people embed your code in their websites, and each website is having 100 people browsing around the pages. Then, your server will be processing 10000 request at the same time. What if is 1000 or 10000 people embed? How much can the server handle so that no noticeable delay occurs?

    Thank you.
