CMS deployment patterns

Seth Gottlieb has written an excellent article on CMS deployment patterns. To quote:

One of my favorite terms in the world of Web Content Management is "baking vs. frying," which refers to when presentation templates are applied to render pages out of structured content. Baking style rendering systems generate pages when content is published. Frying systems generate pages on the fly when they are requested by the end user. Whether a system bakes or fries content tells a lot about its architecture and what it is good at. Baking systems are great for high volume sites that do not need to personalize content. Frying systems excel when requirements include personalization, access control, and other presentation logic that uses information about the user in order to decide what to show and how.
