How many xml http requests is too much for a pc to handle?
I'm running **mediawiki** on an **apache** on a regular pc running vista (don't know the specific specs, but a regular pc, one year old, nothing special).

I want to use the mediawiki api to send a lot of requests to this server. I'm talking  thousands of requests every few seconds at worst case. (A lot of these requests may repeat themselves, I guess some sort of cache would help lower this number)

Will the server handle this, or do I need a stronger/dedicated computer?

Thanks
