Solar performance is great, but I think this is much more related to
your app than to Solar itself. I mean, you need to make your app able
to scale, as you would need to tune apps using any other framework to
scale.

You can build your own front controller, and plug any routing
mechanism you want there. I have some examples and would be interested
to see your solution.

Yes, sure. Nothing in Solar forces you to use Solar_Sql_Model. Nothing
is "tied" to it. Meaning: you can use any ORM you want, and Solar
won't stop you. :)
