I have been using Drupal lately for a conference I am running, it's
quite good with a mass amount of pre-built modules.

Unfortunately this comes at the cost of speed, which is extremely
important for this system I am building. (and yes, I have enabled all
the caching and compression features)

Thanks for the suggestion though,

Alec Taylor
