If a View Allow category is configured only the products in that category will be visible when this catalog is active. Other products will not show up in search results, category browsing, and if someone tries to view the product by ID it will report that no product is found for this ID. There is a performance impact associated with the use of this category, so alternatives might be desirable in certain circumstances. In general for easier maintenance it is best to have this set to the same category as the Default Search category.
But in general for Catalog Setup you shoud refer at this section of the Apache OFBiz Business Setup Guide

Performance : Server Hardware for Ofbiz hosting

Because customizations can dramatically change the performance
characteristics of OFBiz it is a good idea to always do performance
and load testing once development is complete.

That said... a decent mid-range server (dual processor, 4GB RAM for
example) can typically handle a peak of about 100,000 page hits per
hour, or that's what I use as a typical rule of thumb for early
estimates. Typically the peak hours are concentrated into certain
times of day, and as another rule of thumb I usually use an effective
10 hour day for estimates, so that makes roughly 1,000,000 page hits
per day.

In short your estimate of 100,000 page hits per day is WELL within
what a single server can handle, even with the database and app server
running on the same machine.
