1 - there are many caching layers in eZPublish that will allow to squeeze the best performances out of your setup.
Just make sure to enable as many layers as you can, and to correctly configure your installation for it - with some many knobs to twist, it is sometimes hard to get everything correct.
Also make sure your template code is optimized for the traffic. Simple guidelines include:
- there should be as little data fetches as possible, and all those fetches should use filtering options instead of fetching too much data and filtering it later
- use cache-blocks wisely: they can make page loading much faster, but using too many of them kills performances
You will find many optimization tips on the site (articles) and in the forums. Other optimization tips include activating the eZ static cache (but that has a big impact on the design of your html pages, as all dynamic parts will have to be moved to ajax), and putting a reverse proxy in front of your eZ Publish server. 2 - integration with bulletin systems has been done many times, so it is surely possible. The easiest way, but by long not the only one, is probably to create a sso handler on one hand, and have a user-db sync script running in the background. 3 - no direct experience to give you an estimate about ease of development, sorry. But there are a few ajaxy extensions on projects.ez.no you can check out
