X-Cart is a solution for small to mid-size business. I would not recommend x-cart to any large sized business who could afford an enterprise or custom solution.
Anyone who has to deal with the kind of traffic google, yahoo or myspace use won't be utilizing x-cart with or without an html catalog. I went to a PHP conference and attended a talk by Rasmus Lerdorf (the creator of PHP) who is employed in part by Yahoo, and he talked about the efforts that go into caching and speed. He said most of their processing is handled in C below the web server level.
Additionally, could you imagine google trying to run a 4 billion page html catalog, lol - that's why they cache their dynamic pages.
