Drupal 4.7.x

There's a host of small little things in 4.7 that I'd like to start using (password reset email, search, random other bug fixes that I've seen committed to HEAD). I get the feeling that upgrades aren't particularly automated anyway, Also, I've seen 2 references today to sites running HEAD. Is there a list of critical bugs left in 4.7 that need to be fixed before a release candidate is out? Has the database schema settled down? Are more features going in still? Can anyone provide any other advice or opinions on whether upgrading to current CVS is a good idea?

Has anyone used drupal when the {node} table has millions of nodes in it? I'm interested in using drupal for content which doesn't really fit the {node} schema very well (most of the data for these custom nodes would be in separate tables that I'd need to join to the node table when doing things). However, the application that I'm considering will eventually create hundreds of thousands and eventually millions of nodes. I'm wondering if this is possible/practical or if anyone's tried it before. Should I just keep my tables separate (and individually smaller?)

Following Dries' suggestion to run some benchmarks comparing Drupal's performance after an upgrade to 4.7 (CVS HEAD), I've gone ahead and collected some results.

I used general purpose testing machine with Apache 2.0.53, PHP 5.0.5, MySQL 5.0.15, and Zend Optimizer 2.5.7. The installation has 50 nodes, and 500 comments generated by devel.module.

The following values are in milliseconds.

[edit. I attached the raw logs. sorry, their order is not the best, despite I uploaded them in order. Also, they are from a previous run, smaller amount of content.
