[wp-testers] Wordpress scaling problems

[Paul Robinson]

I am a PHP coder, but WordPress has always kinda stumped me a little. So I
was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would encounter this problem
using the %postname%/%post_id% permalink structure. I have nearly 18000
entries (between posts, attachments etc.) in the wp_post table & my site
still runs fairly fast.

Just curious if changing my permalink structure would improve site
performance?

Paul.
