Some more factors this depends on:

- type of the database (mysql, postgres..)
- exact setup and machine configuration (DBs likes RAM)
- usage of a local DB or a remote one
- exact configuration of the UA and registrar, e.g. expires values, number of 
  DB access per REGISTER

In our experience registrar performance is not an issue. You'll probably need 
several machines anyway because of HA/ maintenance requirements. But because 
of this different factors its not easy to estimate for your special 
situation.

You can find some registrar benchmarks at our website:

I'd suggest that you do some benchmarks with your setup, e.g. with sipp and a 
simple REGISTER scenario.
