 * Hello,
 * I’m in the planning stage of an e-commerce (and more) website and I’m considering
   using WordPress along with WP.osC, ShopperPress, or PHPurchase. My concern is
   that the site may eventually become so large that page load and overall site 
   response times might become an issue. Initially, in addition to Home, About, 
   Contact, and Blog pages, the site will have multiple Product pages displaying
   100-150 different products in different categories for sale, but the site could
   grow to 1,000 products over time. The site will also have some Flash animation,
   along with membership and affiliate plug-ins. Has anyone built a site of this
   size before using WordPress, and if so, how have response times been? What other
   kinds of problems might I encounter using WordPress for a site like this?

 * I cant comment on the individual plugins you’ve listed but I wouldnt worry too
   much, WordPress can handle large sites no problem.
 * For better perfomance, try using a cache plugin which will serve static html 
   pages : [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/)
