Wow, I'm flattered that people still think I follow the mailing list
on anything resembling a frequent basis.

If you look at the main page of the Google Group site here, you'll
notice that there's a page entitled "Cake Apps/Sites in the Wild", the
link to which is: 
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/web/cake-apps-sites-in-the-wild

There you'll find a great many high-traffic sites, and while I don't
have exact numbers on many of them I do know this:
 - mingle2.com got dugg a few weeks ago and received 50,000 unique
visitors in the space of 8 hours
 - pewterreport.com was averaging something like 5 million requests a
day during draft week
 - addons.mozilla.org is the frickin' Firefox add-ons portal, so I can
only imagine the crazy number of requests they get on a regular basis

Also.... 50,000 hits are a time?  Um, no offense or anything, but do
you even realize what you're saying?  Twitter.com has pretty much
established itself at the head of the crazy-high-request-count
department, and they top out around 11,000 rps.  Don't get me wrong,
if you invent the next Google, I'll be more than happy for you, but
right now my money's on that not happening.

As much as I'd love to help you, I don't have the extra free time to
do your research for you, especially not on a topic so broad and
general as "how to scale or improve the performance of a CakePHP
application".  However, there are plenty of benchmarks already out
there, and plenty of resources on how to scale PHP applications, as
well as several sections in the CakePHP manual on performance tuning.
