Sorry for the nitpick, but is it logarithmic or exponential in this case?
To the point, I would not be surprised if 5,500 was the "settling" point. In my experience, the hiring pendulum takes some time to swing far enough to include an adequate number of employees in a rapidly scaling environment. (e.g., I would not be surprised if 500 million users were served by 750 employees.)
