as far as i know, ezPublish can handle more than 1.000.000 Objects without problems. A ezuser is just a object, so 40.000 will be no problem.
Your bottleneck will be the Serverbandwith, respectivley how many users you have online at the same time. For this, ezPublish has cluster functionalities!
The main problem you will find having a number of users in the order of magnitude of 100.000 is the usability of the admin interface: if they are all part of the same group, navigating it becomes a pain, and you will have to resort to search for users or build a custom interface to easily find them. Storing them in folders by first letter of login might also be an idea.
Login is not a problem.
Heavy customization of the site based on user profile is a scalability brake anyway, even with few users: avoid having to fetch the user object on every page if you can.
Take care if putting the user id in cache block keys: you will generate a lot of those files.
