Hi Sam,
I dont think that you will be able to find someone with deep domain
knowledge in Drupal scalability and optimization at $50-$100/hr. There are a
lot of people who say they can scale Drupal and optimize well, but there are
only a few that I know of that is well known across the Drupal community to
be able to do so. I think that for someone to be able to scale and optimize
Drupal effectively, the person or shop must have experience dealing with
some of the biggest Drupal sites. Most people who work on these big projects
charge over $100/hr. There are only a few shops or contractors who I know of
who have done this.
