WP-Super Cache will help the loading of blog pages, but I'm not sure why you would be having this in the admin interface, seems kind of strange. We haven't really had the system hang there, and we aren't running super cache just yet. What mu-plugins are you using? I think the javascript in the new WP interface that comes with version 2.5+ is kinda nutty, and still has bugs. I had problems with Feed WordPress creating issues in the backend javascript, and not until I upgraded to 2.6.1 and FeedWordPress 0.933 (I think that is the latest version) did it go away. Also, I am happy to report Feed Wordpress is now working with Donncha's latest Sitewide Tag Pages Plugin, which is great relief for us, because Feed WordPrss is now back in action in full effect, and I can breath a bit easier. Hahahha,

WP-Super Cache will help the loading of blog pages, but I’m not sure why you would be having this in the admin interface, seems kind of strange.

Have you checked the db? Things like corrupt indexes etc etc can have dramatic effects on response times. Even intermittent response problems can have db causes. No doubt your data admin folks have already examined this. Can’t help with WP or network issues, but posting and comments both involve database transactions. Have you checked the db?

It uses Google Gears to load the admin UI locally (all css, javascript, supporting files get copied to the user's computer so it loads stanky fast). Works great in WPMU, but it has to be activated for each blog a person uses (because it physically copies the admin stuff for that blog site to that user's computer). Seems to work great on our site, making the admin stuff load MUCH faster. Combine that with WP-Super-Cache to only generate dynamic pages if necessary, and the load should go way down. That said, UCalgaryBlogs.ca currently runs in a shared virtual machine server, with the database in a shared MySQL server that has a LOT of load from other apps. Plenty of room for optimization :-) Have any of your users tried the Turbo feature (top right of the admin UI)?

Wordpress seems to be the nice robust one people use. I have set up a few smallish websites using Drupal and I feel pretty comfortable with that platform. My experience with Wordpress is zero. We are trying to pin down a nice CMS solution for our online classes and Drupal seems to have nice flexible content types. What are the advantages that Wordpress has? Sure we eventually want a campus blogging platform and we want a nice flexible solution for both. The end-users will be very non-techie, so that is a concern. What other platforms did you look at.
