Alongside questions about HABTM relationships this is one topic that never dies. :)
I have said this before. I have no real-life problems with the speed of CakePHP. I don't know all the other frameworks so there is no way for me to offer a comparative opinion. But I have applications running with several million rows per table by now and Cake keeps going like it is no big thing. I do believe that Cake may have a disadvantage in the mini-app benchmark but that that turns to an advantage when you run into a lot of data and general complexity later on. 0.1 or 0.2 sec for a small application is a lot less helpful than 0.6 or 60 sec when you pile on the data. Also the benchmarks measure heavy traffic. That is less important for an Application framework than it is for a CMS. That type of benchmark can never really measure the efficiency of the ORM or any other "internal" part of Cake. CakePHP (and Yii?) is primarily designed to build applications, not "websites". You don't build something like CakePHP to handle the index- page of cakephp.org. You build it to handle the bakery and the cookbook and other more complex applications. That said, If I was a fan of Yii I would also publish all the benchmarks I could since they showed my framework in a good light. Problem is... who wants to port the bakery to Yii and codeigniter to do a benchmark? :) /Martin On Jan 26, 9:54 am, ProFire <[email protected]> wrote: > In my opinion, > > Performance is no longer the biggest issue in programming. > Server cost no longer outweigh development cost. > Most companies don't have a huge budget to start a new project. > > What my company does is, develop a full-fledge programme first. > Make the money! > If the project fails, FINE!
