Installing Movable Type is much easier if you can unpack the files directly on the server using, for example, the “unzip” or “tar” shell commands. That eliminates the need to FTP individual files or fiddle with permissions.

The Blogger-style publishing is actually quite nice. By default, a user browsing your Movable Type blog will not hit the database or run any scripts on your server. Web servers are optimized to serve static HTML pages under high loads.

The PHP and database queries that WordPress runs for each request will bring your server to its knees if an entry gets dugg. The only solution to this problem is WP-Cache, which still runs some PHP, or something more elaborate.
