Hi Lennart, Drupal's great flexibility brings some drawbacks regarding performance, many DB requests, function calls etc. But it depends a lot on how many and which modules you enable and how many blocks, links etc. you display on your pages. Drupal's cache works very good and greatkly increases performance. An additional op code cache will help too. Moreover there are some 3rd party cache modules. - yaph
From the admin staff on a web host I am using I got a message saying:
"Personally I'll recommend Drupal when pigs can fly, because I believe it is just that ... a pig. Slow even when I tried it on my dedicated server... its very full featured, but it is hardly peppy, at the best of times... and, I'm not aware of many Drupal sites on the platform -- there are definitely better choices performance wise at the current juncture."
Can you comment on this, please? I am just going to setup some more Drupal site and got a bit frustrated.
