I'd love to contribute to this also if you wish, so just a little about my experience, I first started using 1.x roughly back in 2006/2007 and the majority of my projects since have been created in CakePHP. I've used other frameworks in between but I have a lot of things to say in favour of CakePHP as my personal preference.
I'm currently working on a complete remake of a popular music distribution website with my colleague in CakePHP 2.4.x, due to go live shortly (3041 commits and going =]). One side note about past 'debates' which niggled at me a little concerning which framework is better (I know this probably isn't the case here), the benchmarks done out of the box don't represent my end product with CakePHP, I have plenty of control over how to influence the speed of my project, so I have found these benchmarks to be less useful than others may.
