Boost - Static Page Caching for Drupal
Massive web sites with tens of thousands of articles don't tend to run well on Drupal, even with aggressive caching enabled.
Judging from the reading I've been doing on the subject recently, the problem seems to be that Drupal empties its cache when a node is updated. I'm not sure how true that is but, the fact of the matter is, my site (www.freearticles.co.za) was consistently grinding to a hault at peak times and not even aggressive caching was helping.
