How many Fonts can be installed before a performance hit?

[evan goldstein]

Instead of using a Font management tool such as Font Agent Pro or
Suitcse, I would like to place as many fonts as possible into the users/
library/fonts folder. But we have thousands of fonts and if I load them all
there is a performance hit when opening apps and in general. Does
anyone know what the practical limit of the amount of fonts to put into
that folder before effecting performance? Is there a formula that can be
tied to the number of apps open or RAM?

Thanks
Evan
