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.
