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. http://getpantheon.com/mercury/what-is-mercury <http://getpantheon.com/mercury/what-is-mercury> http://groups.drupal.org/pantheon <http://groups.drupal.org/pantheon>Justin On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 7:58 AM, Randy Fay <randy@randyfay.com> wrote:

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

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