Hi Aless, My experience with large TW's is the same, they become slow and you can not expand endless. I went trough the same software as you mention above and found Drupal to be a good server based alternative. It has everthing and more as TW, the setback is that you have setup a server but with xampp this should be no problem, runs also on a usb stick, but not that fast. The only problem is if you want to switch between win and linux platforms, this requires some extra work.
