I would be much more interesting in seeing 5000 under heavy load.
Just being able to star that many instances is not that exciting until we know what they can do.
Erlang handles heavy load VERY well, between work stealing schedulers and soft realtime via reduction counting (any program can be interrupted and stopped after any instruction and resumed transparently)
