I read that, and personally think your money is best saved on that book.

Also, check out Mercury - it tries to give you out-of-the-box high performance Drupal.

Looks like it's pretty well panned by the first reviewer, though.

Again, the high performance group is a great place to start.

This probably isn't the place to talk about high performance, but

http://groups.drupal.org/high-performance

is the place. There is also a new book on Drupal performance coming out right about now, and lots and lots of blog posts and videos, etc. And a small group of companies that specialize in consulting in this area.

I am talking with a client about redoing a site in Drupal that gets millions of page views monthly.
My concern is page generation time. I would need to assure my client that I con produce pages very fast.
Here are a couple of questions:
I don't think my question will be MySql vs. Postgre, but I would like some input on getting started in the world of benchmark testing. (I know you probably need to install dev) :-)
Thank you for your input.
