There are confs with more talks, even the recent linuxcons have had more
tracks and more talks (however, some were specialized tracks), but I'll
also say right away that pretty much every time you get more talks, the
quality goes down.

In my opinion the very best part of LCA is that the talks get recorded,
so that if you miss some good ones, it's easy to catch up when you go
home.
Actually I'll go one step further: I have not gone to any linux
conference that records all its talks like LCA has done for ages now
(even back when it was a real pain with media on tape, digitizing later,
and so forth, including hours and hours of heroic efforts from
volunteers, sometimes weeks after the conf was over)
