I copied and pasted my word press data to PubTal, then to plain
markdown. Given the time it consumed and extra work, to be rid of
wordpress, I'd call that success.
WordPress was a nice for about a week then it gets abused. You can't
really use it without some "super duper plugin caching system" but that
bites you eventually as the disk cache has to be writable by the httpd
process, which is bad. Maybe these days there's a way to protect that
through SELinux, but it's just trouble I'd rather not have.
Static will always be served in fewer cycles than dynamic, and probably
gets GoogleBot points for a faster page delivery via mmap or sendfile,
than waiting for mod_php, even if that data can come from memcache or
similar.
