Answer

TWiki has a modular storage backend. Currently a file based native RCS system is standard and an experimental RCS in Perl file based system is available. In the future we might add a database backend. Search the Codev web for details.

Attachments are stored in the file system and are available via browser interface. There is no real performance bottleneck unless you have more then 10K attachments in a single topic.
