are you sure it used a single table ?
Last time I looked at it, IIRC it was using a single database but more 
than 20 tables in that db...
anyway the real problem is not the number of tables but the number of 
times that they are accessed per page.
SF servers are not extremely fast and I prefer a site which looks a bit 
more 'static' but is faster rather than something CMS-based which is 
more 'dynamic' but slower ;)

ok, so let's go for PHP.

as I said, I'd use the last one, Prosimii, but before I start the work 
I'd like to be sure it's okay for everyone... is it ?
