Drupal Wishlist

Ok, after working on porting the BEMC webpages to Drupal over the past couple of days I have a list of features that I hope we can implement in our Drupal installation:
- Performance Optimizations: I don't know if it's Drupal settings, PHP settings, or what, but this CMS is awfully slow at times. I've set up a couple of Joomla installations at MIT that are much snappier. This is the number one complaint I hear from other people. It's going to be a running joke at EMC phone meetings before too long.
- Trash Bin: What do I do with pages that I decide I don't want? I don't see any way to trash them, so for the moment the BEMC subsystem page has a "Trash Bin" of it's own. It sure would be nice if I could hide it, though.
- Authorship changes: Sometimes I create pages as kocolosk that would probably be better off as staruser pages, but I don't see any way to change the authorship myself, so I've resorted on at least occasion to "trashing" the old page as best I could and then recreating a new page with a different author. Very convoluted.
- Restricted viewership: I would like to post analysis results in Drupal, but I can't figure out how to restrict my pages to logged in users. At the moment I have a folder called drupal_pics in protected/spin that I put plots in. Users are then required to type a password to see them, but again, this is something Drupal must be able to handle by itself.
