Thanks to the Gephi team for this long-awaited update - for me, Gephi an essential tool in many aspects of my scientific work, as it allows to express visually very complex datasets of almost any type (interactions between proteins, binding of certain genomic elements, etc) as well as overlay by color or size additional parameters (expression of genes, conservation, mutation rate in the population) - endless possibilities! From my initial impressions the performance is A LOT better for large networks, which can mean only one thing - I can now play with even LARGER networks :)

Roughly what size networks can you actually get useful information for? Every time I play with Gephi using any network of reasonable size (in my field), it's always a giant useless hairball.

  I have tested a few layout algorithms in Gephi for networks with ~200K nodes. It becomes slow but does work.

  That's due to the network structure rather than the size. Maybe you can strip/split it to sub-'questions' or weigh nodes or edges?

  50-100k nodes, as posters above said, it's very variable on the network structure, but for me I get highly information clusters. Try increasing your cutoff for interaction via edge weight might help.
