We haven't done any real performance testing as Midgard's
efficiency matches our needs easily. The only real numbers
I've seen were Jean-Pierre Arneodo's tests with 800.000
articles in a Midgard database.
I answered some performance-related questions in the
MWS for September 15th. You'll find the article from:
http://www.midgard-project.org/article/1205.html
Generally, Midgard is just an addition to Apache
and so normal rules of getting Apache and MySQL scale
apply. If you need some real scalability, then also
a possible option is to have more than one server, and
replicate your Midgard database to all of them from a
master server every time the database is updated.
If you are considering such a setup, then Eddie
from http://www.eddieware.org/ might be of interest
to you. I've never tried it, but it shouldn't have
any problems working with Midgard.
Another important consideration is that normally
with Midgard setups all pages are generated dynamically
for each request. If you have to take really many
hits, then you'll probably want to cache at least
the most frequently visited pages (like the front
page of the site) into static files.

Sure! Just change the configuration of your midgard-lib
and it should work fine... I haven't tried it, though,
so I can't tell you anything about what this means
performance-wise.
There is also coming support for Oracle coming,
possibly already to the Midgard 1.2.x tree, and that
should help with database scalability. Jean-Pierre
Arneodo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is working on it,
so you might want to contact him about the status
of the port.
The next major version, Midgard 2, is now nearing
alpha, and will contain many improvements to performance
issues, and will also be able to support many different
databases via either a native interface or ODBC. This
will be a great improvement for larger sites using
Midgard.
