How bad is a category with 21,008 pages for the servers?

IIRC, it's not a problem now that we have category paging, but my recollection may be faulty.
20k isn't that large.. we have quite a few with a lot more than that...
Thanks for the responses. So this is not a technical problem then. I just wonder what's the benefit of having such huge categories...
I thought categories were meant as a tool for editors to iterate over the articles contained in them. I can't imagine that a human would ever iterate over a set of 20K pages (at least not without using specialized tools like AWB [1] or bots).
