I see you started this post back in 2009. Were you able to finally find one reliable solution? I'm working on my totally custom directory since 2004 and just found out from my very talented freelance programmer that he is not willing to continue. He found very stressful but very high pay job after which he wants to spend time with his family. So basically I can't find any reliable extremely knowledgeable programmer to continue adding features to the directory. And it looks like to me that I have to start all over from scratch. My site is slow at times due to very high traffic. I have vps. But will be moving to dedicated next month (any advice about dedicated hosting company) Do you have any recommendation for huge database and high traffic sites? Hey man great topic!

You would install Powerseek in a subdirectory and then use bits of code to display the latest listings within the Joomla. It is all built on Perl too. Templating is easy though, just take your Joomla template and add the Powerseek code then run it through the system and Powerseek will populate the directory into the static html pages - all built on the server, no FTPing to do.

If you have a faster server then any CMS will be quick. If you are suffering from slow loading Joomla sites it is most likely that your server is just a bit slow, unless you are doing something with Joomla out of the ordinary. Look into caching extensions / modules for Joomla (or any CMS that you use). Directories such as Powerseek which use static html files are always going to be quicker to load so long as the html page size is kept small, as there is no database lookup required. But I would seriously consider investing some time and money looking for a better web server. There are a lot of good (as in fast and reliable) servers out there that are not a fortune to hire. Ignore anyone that says you need a dedicated server to run a big site quickly. Speed is dependent on many issues. If you have a faster server then any CMS will be quick.

At the moment you only seem to have empty categories. First rule in building a directory - NEVER show empty categories. Powerseek at least has the option to not list the empty ones.
