And given uids went from being 16-bit to 32-bit in 2.4, I think it's reasonable to expect people to have this many users. Feel free to benchmark the performance with 64k users, but I suspect you'll find it to be suboptimal as well. Here's a debian-devel thread in 1998 where people discuss the performance problem in perl: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1998/06/msg00885.html I don't think this bug is unreasonable.
