Never mind - of course this is well documented in the most excellent 
'The Official SAMBA-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide'...

For anyone curious - it is not generally recommended to use the tdbsam 
backend for sites with 250+ users, but this is only because these sites 
likely will be spread out and require BDCs and multiple servers...

They specifically mention one site using the tdbsam backend with 4,500+ 
users with no performance problems whatsoever...

Sorry for the noise.
