Hello,

While certainly Drupal may not shine in the performance department out
of the box, there are many examples of heavy traffic sites that use it
successfully, so it it quite scalable. For example:

http://www.economist.com
http://www.fastcompany.com
http://www.examiner.com
http://www.whitehouse.gov

To start with, there are several features built-into core that can
help; for example, block caching, views caching, page compression,
CSS/JS optimization, etc.. You can also resort to the various
available performance and scalability solutions from third parties:

http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid:123&solrsort=sis_project_release_usage%20desc

You can also try Drupal specific advise on how to tune up the server:

http://drupal.org/node/2601

Or you could get advise by asking on the Drupal website or on IRC
(#drupal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Finally, Drupal 7 is around the corner; this new version is supposed
to address performance and scalability, so it may be worth giving it a
try.

HTH,

Citi aka Jorge aka Sneakito
