The Web Analytics Report 2008 looks at... Google Analytics performance

"No other company in the world can match Google’s infrastructure, but performance and support do not always scale adequately. There have been incidents where companies with larger volumes of traffic have experienced delays in obtaining report results. For example, a report based on a year’s worth of data and included a million page views hung and never completed."
