Sam, My experience with Lift apps is that 200K page views a day (which probably peaks at 20K/hr and 2K/min in the peak times) is not a problem on a modern server (e.g., 1-2Ghz dual opteron or xeon). The Lift community is here to serve you and help with the project and if there are any performance shortcomings, please let me know. I consider these defects and will fix them. Between the work that Marius, Viktor, and Tim have done, I think that Lift has a good localization story... but if we need to add features, please let us know. Personally, I'll donate 2 hours a week to your project to be used however you think is best. I'm looking forward to something that my kids will be able to use in a few years.
