I am thinking about using the feeds module (http://drupal.org/node/622698) to aggregate multiple feeds into nodes and then categorize them. There is going to be at least 50 plus feeds, updating every 15 minutes and expiring every two weeks. My question is how resource intensive is this going to be? How do I test this in order to gage what kind of server power I am going to need? Last thing I want to do is take down my server. Can someone point my in the right direction on how to diagnose this problem
thanks

Hi, I am currently building a business directory. I'm hoping to have each content-type have its own section with links to twitter/facebook as icons. Is there a module where I can enable a predefined image (twitter icon), and only ask the user to insert the url? Therefore, when the url is inserted, the outcome would be the twitter icon with the user's link?
EDIT: I figured it out. For those who are interested, I ended up using the Link module and applying a CSS class to display the image.
Let's say that you maintain two branches of a module simultaneously, 6.x-1.x and 7.x-1.x. Initially, the module is simple and doesn't require a schema. Later on though, you decide to add a schema, so you add hook_update_6101 and hook_update_7101, which install the schema. No problem, right?
Conundrum: how do you support upgrades from 6.x-1.x to 7.x-1.x? Users upgrading from 6101 to 7101 will get the 7101 update, which will throw errors because the schema is already installed, right?
For Drupal 7, I have this idea to write a module and use it to change the content before it renders. Briefly, I am looking for a particular HTML text string and when detected, convert it to a hyperlink. I know I can do this in the page template but want to know is this something I should do in hook_page_alter? It looks like I have lot of extra work to do just to get the Node Id to access the body in the content structure. Perhaps hook_preprocessor_page is better?
