Do you think WP can handle and provide fast access with searching to say 250,000 posts on it?

If not, is there a cms that can handle this load?

    You should probably ask that on the Wordpress forum. At least, the first part of the question!

    Without proper caching and database pruning, I wouldn't trust it... even with. WP is known to be a pretty big resource hog due to its post versioning system that's enabled by default; (yeah, you can turn it off but then you open a whole new can of worms).

    If you're looking to house that many docs, I'd strongly suggest looking at a data warehousing system; not just a CMS. Although, all of the CMS out there will tout that they can handle it; (even WP will tell you that).

    Just my 2¢

    I think your server will play a BIG role in that scenario.

    I totally agree that your server is the key to this answer. If your using a shared server or anything less then a VPS at least I think you are going to have issues with WP and that many posts.
