There is OpenACS, but it is more of a toolkit where you take the basic 
things and heavily customize it to suit your needs. 
(http://openacs.org/)

Has the latest buzzwords to be compliant, like AJAX etc (see
http://www.solutiongrove.com/ for one "mashup") .

I am aware of a dual-Opteron, dual-core system with 4GB RAM and fast 
disks, that has a custom app built on top of OpenACS that serves some 
35,000 users over the course of each month (each user has to maintain / 
update information, which requires multiple page views, running of 
online reports, filling out of many form-based pages).

Also photo.net, which is a huge photography site, runs on an earlier 
version and mostly-fills a T3 (45mbps) during the busy times.
