There is no limit per se., other then the capacities of your
computer, the limitations of performance, and your patience.

People have reported a wide range of performance results, from
"as fast as Verilog-XL" to "10 times slower then Verilog XL."
The factors vary depending on memory use, coding style, biases
of the observer, etc. Some might say Icarus Verilog supports
million-gate designs just fine, others may give up at thousand-
gate designs.
