Hey Ted, if you do some timing calculations, I'd believe that the 
entrypickle could be faster than entryshelve (probably depends on the DB 
library). Entryshelve does have locking issues as well, which may not be 
desirable with concurrent access.

There are other ways to speed up access to your site. One could make the 
frontpage and the RSS access as static pages, since it's the one being 
hit the most. Permalinks (comment pages) could of course be dynamic, 
since only one file is queried. Once the front page is static (you can 
extend this to monthy, and category archives), your only worry is 
updated comment counts on the front page. There are many ways to solve 
this problem, using javascript, for example to call up a comment counter 
program that just do 'document.write(num_comments)' after reading a 
comment count of a particular entry.
