Sky.com developers rely on a content management system (CMS) to constantly update its home page with articles, images, videos, feeds and navigation to other Sky websites. Prior to using Groovy and Grails for its homepage CMS, Sky ran into limitations with the existing CMS solution because of the complexity of the technology and the time it took for developers to publish new pages. After the development team switched to Groovy and Grails, Sky.com gained speed, flexibility and productivity without sacrificing application performance.

It appears to be working now, but finance.yahoo.com is quite slow.

Without knowing what they used before it reads like an ad.
Grails is a good and relativly fast way to develop Webapps once you like the giants (Spring, Hibernate) it's build upon.
But one week instead of four ??
What a pain must have been their development practise before starting with Grails.
