Agent oriented programming is often described as the next breakthrough in development and implementation of large-scale complex software system. At the same time it is rather difficult to find successful applications of agent technology, in particular precisely when large-scale systems are considered. The aim of this paper is to investigate if one of the possible limits may be the scalability of existing agent technology. We have picked JADE agent platform as technology of choice and investigated its efficiency in a number of test cases. Results of our experiments are presented and discussed.
