Web Parts 25 per wiki or web 
part page
Page limit This is an estimate based on simple 
web parts. Above this threshold, 
and performance suffers. If the web 
parts are more complex, expect 
performance degradation sooner.
Workflow 
Postpone
15 Workflow limits 15 workflows are allowed to be 
executed against a database at any 
given time. After that, additional 
workflows will be postponed. Those 
new requests count against this 
threshold.
Workflow Timer 
Batch Size
100 Workflow limits This is the standard limit that the 
workflow timer job can pick up 
at any one time. Configurable. 
Additional workflow timer job 
instances can be started to handle 
more batches if necessary.
Database Items 
Returned per 
Request
2,000 per database 
connector
BDC service limits The default maximum of 2,000 is 
used by the database connector 
to restrict the number of results 
that can be returned per page. The 
boundary is 1,000,000.
Table 1.3 describes a number of the supported limitations for SharePoint Foundation. 
Remember that supported limitations are ones that, although they are not hard boundaries 
or thresholds that can be changed, are suggested limits because tested performance has been 
found to degrade after these limits are reached.
