Ideally vs actually? On average vs most productive founders?

How do I determine how many employees I should hire for my startup throughout its lifecycle?

I'm puzzled as to how startups grow to so many employees. For example, dropbox's core product hasn't changed much from inception. Why not hire a small core team of 10 engineers and focus on operating the main product?

I'm interested in starting a hosted wiki business, is this a viable market to be in? Any advice to someone who hasn't created a SaaS business before?

Conventional startup advice is to 'move fast' and 'pump out features.' Are there any startups that created a great new thing that was growing and then failed because they were improving too slowly? How slow is too slow?
