as i know.. a wordpress site with 50k posts makes a server high load with something like 30k visits, does a Datalife site makes the server high load with the same visits and posts?

i got a good server so its not about the server, its about the mysql usage.

"Another key feature of DataLife Engine - is a low load on system resources. Even with a very large audience of the site did not load the server will be minimal and you will not experience any problems with the mapping information."
 
No Data Life Engine doesn't uses hell lot off server resource.
Its minimal and is reliable if you are on a VPS but a shared hosting might sue you with 30 k visits.
 
its not about Shared hosting, i got my own servers.

Server Load 5.91 (16 cpus)

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz

but i need to know if its better or not than wordpress, maybe freshwap owner can tell me, or any other?
 
For these type of script's it all depends on how their customized. With basic and default settings you'll have no problems with either until you get to the size of Katz or WBB. It's when you start adding plugins and customizing it that your load increases. That load is very high. Try disabling some plugins and see what that does.

If your really worried hire a very good coder to optimize your script. You'll want someone who will know what mysql requests can be cached and for how long and have an idea of what loads they have individually. WP does silly stuff like check if it's already installed on every page load. Their's loads of stuff that can be optimized.

eg Katz has (from what I can see) a great cache system. You can only ever see the first 100 pages and older ones are redirected. eg go to page 100 and 101. Their all cached every 25 minutes. A blog should be the same. Your content doesn't update every second like a forum and a lot of it can be cached. WBB does stuff like update the search every two hours I think as well as lots of other stuff.

As I said hire a good coder (not me, sorry too busy) and you should be able to run a blog that size on shared hosting pretty easily if it's done right.
