Ok here are my results for anyone asking the same thing in the future.
My listings in the top 30 got an average of 120K pageviews over 3 days.
My listings past that point got on average 46K pageviews over 3 days.
I get about 5000 per gallery monthly from the monthly pages.
The first day I usually see about 75% of the traffic, second day about 15% and third day about 10%. After that, the traffic drops a lot. I got the bulk of the traffic in the first 5 hours of the listing showing.
I recommend using a dedicated server with mod_deflate and mod_disk_cache to anyone listing there often. Note, don't use mod_disk_cache on any site that uses mod_rewrite. I put my galleries in a subdomain to get around this and cache only that subdomain.
