You will probably not experience a huge differnce in time-consumption for 
page-rendering for a site with 2 or with 10000 pages. The reason for this is 
that the time-consuming part is not the DB-query (mysql doesn't really care 
if a table has 2 or 10000 entries) but the processing of huge PHP-arrays 
which is almost indepentend from the size of your website.

For huge sites, you must mainly think about intelligent caching mechanims to 
prevent pages from beeing rendered to often.
