Drupal has a lot of modules aimed at helping site builders and users add forms to their sites. What follows is a rough comparison of 2 of them. If there are any I've missed, please add them. Webform Webform is a module designed to allow you to add custom forms to the front-end of your site. Each form is stored against a node, so you add new forms to your site as if you were adding content. It's useful for things like Survey websites or just where you want a couple of forms that differ from the standard contact form. Pros Webform has been around for a long time, its very well established and has a large number of modules that  integrate with it . Webform can make a wide variety of forms with lots of different elements available out of the box. Because Webforms are nodes, they inherit all the functionality that nodes have (scheduled publishing, cloning, access control, etc.). Webforms are lighter-weight and more scalable than entity-based forms. Can handle multiple-p...

A drupal theme is a collection of files that define the presentation layer. You can also create one or more "sub-themes" or variations on a drupal theme. Only the .info file is required, but most themes and sub-themes will use other files as well. The following diagram illustrates the files that are found in a typical drupal theme and sub-theme. Drupal 6: Drupal 7: .info   (required) All that is required for Drupal to see your theme is a ".info" file. Should the theme require them, meta data, style sheets ,  JavaScripts ,  block regions  and more can be defined here. Everything else is optional in drupal theme. The internal name of the theme is also derived from this file. For example, if it is named "drop.info", then Drupal will see the name of the theme as "drop".  Drupal 5 and below used the name of the enclosing folder of the theme. Info files for themes are new in Drupal 6. In version 5, .info files were used solely for dru...

So for some time I've been running Drupal 7 for my private webpage. It has been slow as hell on the admin pages. The "frontend" side works fast and without any slowdown. There are  others experiencing the same trouble . A lot of others it seems. For years I've been running Drupal now and it's only since I switched to version 7 that it started to have speed problems. It has a major slowdown on all admin pages. They take sometimes 30+ seconds to load and almost every admin page uses 10+ seconds. The high times cause PHP to throw an error (Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded) that some function was running too long. I constantly got these errors on admin pages. It was barely usable. I had to reload pages multiple times (often 5+ times) to finally get them to show. Each time I had to wait till the timeout came. Furthermore the update.php page had the same problem. I couldn't update more than 2 modules for some time. Now I updated to ver...
