How many routers in OSPF area

Quick question for you OSPF gurus::
I know that Cisco states that 50-100 routers is the max for an OSPF area.
Does anyone have experience with a single area comprised of about 150
routers? I'm a little nervous about pushing the limit.

Thanks

------------------------

I would think this depends heavily on the processing power of the
routers involved (think lowest common denominator) and memory, how many
routes are involved, is it fully meshed...

I would think it is hard to pinpoint a breaking point and I wouldn't
want to push the limit because you will have to cross your fingers
every time you are ready to add that ONE more route!!
