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.
