Perlmonks.org is the best perl-site in the world. But it is slow. So after some advice from some wise monks, i took a look at the everything engine to see if i could improve some code around eval()'s and sql queries.

It was then that i found out that the everything engine is quite ehh... hard to get into.

To make a bold move here: might it be a good idea to start from scratch with a new engine, with in the beginning far less features, but FAST?

Two new rules should apply to the new development effort: no more eval() and implement some smart caching between application and database (i read an excellent article somewhere about some tech site that made a dynamic site engine in java, on Resin but i ca't find it anymore).
