Hello,

Can anyone provide me some info about the performance of the drupal forum when locale module is enabled. Can it handle a high load still being fast enough (short response time). I don't know about the inner working of drupal cache, but the way localization works (one query for each translated sentence) should induce a high load on long forum topics?
Does anyone know about benchmarks on high traffic sites of the forum performance, or comparaisons with some other standalone forum system (Phorum, vBulletin etc.)

Thanks

In Drupal 4 locale is cached so just one query is required for each page; a coming version optionally uses gettext to cache strings, which makes it even lighter, almost insignificant.
While not specific to the forum system, there is a paper is about Drupal performance.
