As other monks have suggested, the term "high traffic" is very subjective. However, I would say there is plenty of streamlining that you can do. Without knowing more about your site, it's my inclination to say that you can probably sub-divide your site, regenerating your more frequently visited pages regularly, but not dynamically (by a background process, for example). By the same token, those pages that haven't been accessed in a while can also be shelved, simply by applying whatever templates you may have and outputting static HTML. It's a delicate process...unfortunately, every webmaster really has to judge for themselves how much is too much, and that generally requires carefully examining traffic logs. In any case, good luck.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
