How many events per day at a meet?

What do people think is the ideal number of events to swim per day at a meet? It seems that, for local meets, you're allowed to enter up to 5 events. That is way too many for me. I'm always gassed after 3 or end up scratching an event or relying on caffeine. Yet, I'd like to get more times in different events without traveling the countryside to go to zillions of meets. So, how many is too many if you want to swim fast?

    Leslie- hornet's nest or not, you may enter any time you want, but if you 'sandbag' too glaringly be prepared to have the occasional slower swimmer be a little miffed that you blew her doors off. I prefer submitting a target time that seems reasonable at the time of entry.
