I am looking for node balancing information,
what are the requirements for there to have 1 region to 1 node, or 1 system to node. How long it takes to switch over and how many player can be supported on a single node.
Does anyone have this information?

I think on average a node handles 6 systems (exceptions like jita have a whole node to themselves), and though there is dynamic balancing changes to node structure are only done at DT or during node death. Considering Jita is pretty nasty around 500-600 players i'd say that's about what they can cope with.
As far as I know that's accurate to what i've read from devposts/blogs etc, then again, I could have dreamt it all.

I am under the impression that are 70 nodes only.
We got about 60+ regions, so it has to be pretty spread out overall.

I believed it was 70 blades, each with 2 cpus, with some cpus handling more than one node. Doesnt make me right though.

Nope, it doesn't, but you're close. One node can only be on one CPU. So there are 70 blades, with 140 nodes. A node can have between 1 system and hundreds. I think Oveur, or someone in the dev chat, said that some have 6 constellations on them. That's probably the upper limit, given how many nodes there are vs. total constellations.
This, since most people have missed it, is why you have jump cues for systems with no one in them. It doesn't matter how many people are in a system, unless it's Jita or Ours; what matters is the TOTAL number of players in all the systems on the node. So if you're jumping in an empty system on a node that also has a fleet battle, or some other big event, you're SOL (and I don't mean the server).

How long does it take for the server to react to population changes?

I am aware it takes 200 to 300 players on a system for 3 days to get a single node for that system, however, I do not know the actually proccess it takes to get there.

Yeah, it's a few days of sustained population at least.
eg. turning up with 1000 ships every 18:00 for an hour won't work; you'd be better off having a constant 300 pilots there.
