Bob,

   I remember running GrADS on a 90 Mhz Pentium webserver with 32 MB
memory.  Sure it took
45 seconds to make a plot-on-demand but people were more patient those
days.    Anybody who would
attempt to answer your question would need to know

     (1) how many plots served / minute
     (2) are the plots made on demand or how many plots will available
for download (# made per hour)
     (3) dataset size

 Yours,
 Wesley
