Large Projects in REVIT - Information Compilation

I am getting ready to do a pretty large project using Revit.  Since i generally spend more time engaged in 3d monkey-business, rather than setting up projects, I knew i needed to do some research.

As I poked around on the web, I saw the same 2 questions over and over:

The Pessimists: "Can REVIT do large projects?"

or

The Optimists: "What are the setup techniques for a large project in Revit"

I gathered alot of very helpful data and i think i am off to a pretty good start.  In the spirit of peace and love, I wanted to post links to all the document's i found because it might be helpful to others.

And last, a paper from the Mothership about getting Revit to work real good:

Autodesk Revit 2010 - Model Performance Technical.pdf - Starts with a section on system and network setup but then gets into some very good guidelines for model setup and modeling techniques for better performance

To those who actually did this work, i offer my thanks.  It has helped me alot and i hope others will find this compilation helpful as well.
