People using really large numbers of sprites are probably doing a single surface system, since using a separate entity/surface for each sprite would slow things down a lot. This is the point behind single surface particle systems. Note however that Blitz does frustrum culling per entity and not per polygon, so sprites out of the camera view in a single surface system would still be rendered.
