No one will be able to answer your question effectively because none of us
know anything about your hardware and the design of your software and
queries.

But I can reassure you that MySQL is extremely fast.  I have databases that
handle many millions of queries per day on databases several gigabytes in
size.  With careful design and the right hardware, you can really make MySQL
hum.

If you are worried about potential load problems, I highly recommend that
you build your program such that you can load balance users across multiple
machines in some way if needed.  Unfortunately I can't give you any
suggestions for doing so because again, I don't know much about your
configuration.
