It's an app for matching up people with similar interests. (being cryptic here :) Using big tables and full-text search and XML/XSLT processing for page design. (using tdom) Loading the database with 50.000 fake users, I still push out at least 10 search result pages per second!
The main thing that slows it down is Postgres sorting. If I have a reasonable 100-200 matches, a search is 30-50ms, do an unrealistic query that returns 2000 results and you have a search that takes a second, simply on the sorting of the results. What kind of loads are you expecting? If you are concerned with uploads going to disk first, you can always use a RAM disk as temp storage for the uploads until you get to Tcl.
