Trying to get rid of PHPnuke
Well heres the situation. I've used PHPnuke for about a year and a half and have become very acustom to how it works, and enjoy the addons to it. My only problem is it really likes to use system resources and seems to load kinda slow for some users, and I think by getting something that loads quicker I can help to bring people back. I don't mind spending a few bucks to buy a nicer CMS, but I need a CMS because I just don't have time for all the coding.
I've heard Post-nuke is a bit better and i've tryed mambo but don't care much for it... Anyone have some ideas on what I might like?

drupal.org - this is a good CMS.
If your CMS is running slowly though this might be caused by hardware not being good enough. You might need to investigate getting a dedicated server if you have enough visitors to warrant it... Changing CMS might not solve the problem

There are some blog scripts that can effectively double as a CMS (ie WordPress - can write pages as well as posts.)
What you may want to try is setting up a sub domain to test other scripts. In that way, you can do some side-by-side comparisons (especially for load speeds.)
