I was able to get a lot of IBLs fairly fast on Myspace and StumbleUpon but it took a couple of months to get quality links from sites with the same content. Though, I saw that Google responded much better to the quality links, than those from Myspace and StumbleUpon. Though, after only 6 months of launching the site, I have a PR of 3 and I'm on the first SR page for many of my keywords. From my experience I think you are pretty right on.

The number of pages in a site is not as important as the number of pages spidered. If I build a 1000 page site intially and google only spiders 23 pages, then effectively it's a 23 page site. Now, if you have a single sitemap with 1000 links on it and G spiders the sitemap it is certainly possible that with the page it "sees" 1000 links and can add a negative trust factor. But if you have a blog cms for instance and publish without pinging 1000 pages into multiple categories, etc. it is likely that gbot will only spider one or more categories initially, again effectively reducing the size of the site it sees. Excessive pinging showing rapid content creation seems to be much more of an easily detectible trust issue in our experience. while I generally agree here, the point you made in #3 – Too many pages within the site initially, I think is overrated.
