Hello,

1. no, there is no built in automatic staging, this is a feature we're looking at for a future release - in fact we're hoping to introduce full workflow support so content can go through a series of stages before final publication. In the meantime some people do use module/page permissions to make content invisible to normal users.

2. yes, all content is stored in the database, however when a page is generated if it's available to anonymous users we do create static pages to improve performance. In addition we make use of cache to reduce the number of database calls.

3. it's impossible to say -there are nearly 600,000 users & more than 5 million downloads. http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ShowcaseSites/tabid/541/Default.aspx has a small selection of sites.

Must be, doesn't seem to be happening in 4.8.3, haven't loaded 4.8.4 yet.
