i think my design in something might have been flawed ...

i spent a few days creating a simple DTD/Schema for a site only to go back
to a full database and the resources seems to be bogging down the results
page w/ alot of queries for single pages ... which is fine since it just
started ... but then i realized alot of certain content even though it was
relational was pretty boring and static and when it dropped into an archive
it was such a "waste" to even have in the db.

so the question is if alot of people just leave it for the sake of it being
in the database because it should be there or would it be better to dump it
all out to XML and parse from there (simple_xml is so fast)?  is this a
common scenerio?  i dont think this is a db vs. xml discussion but rather a
"long term thinking" resource strategy question ...

thanks for any input ...
