Stuff was a heavily modified Wordpress. I wouldn't recommend that approach. Pressflow is worth considering - a Drupal variant specially tuned for high traffic. I don't think Drupal is slow, particularly for well configured hosting (i.e. not commodity hosting). It has excellent caching mechanisms inbuilt, which can easily be enhanced with systems like varnish - that'll let you weather huge traffic. Don't think you'll find a better, higher performance solution. In fact, I'm sure you won't.
