1.3 Who Should Not Use Scoop?

Anyone running a very high traffic site probably shouldn't use Scoop. While Scoop is constantly becoming faster and better, it's still not the most efficient. Don't get scared away, though, very high traffic means just that: many hundreds of thousands of hits per day would swamp Scoop. However, Kuro5hin, the site for which Scoop was originally written, receives between 70 thousand and 90 thousand hits per day, and it does just fine. And that's running on one dual 800MHz PIII with 1gb of memory, and around 450mb in the database.
