Hm some intresting information.

My rugby forum get anything from 500,000 to 2,000,000 page impressions a month (and rising by the day), it sits on phpbb and is increadibly light using around 20 gig a month. I have a Joomla based site that crucifies the server (different server)

Not nearly as intensive as Drupal. My webhost had me removed Drupal when I was using it for a site. I replaced Drupal with Joomla and I have not heard another complain from my webhost.

OWG, what do you think can we ease the script running with cacheing? I see that the general configuration options make it possible, so i belive that could make life easier, isn't.
