@WebbedIT I think you're missing the point here. I am not trying to assess the supposed advantage in using CakePHP.
I am trying to assess its weight. Whatever the application you develop, when you choose using a framework you MUST understand how it is going to affect the overall performance. The whole idea behind "hello world" benchmarks is to provide the leanness of a framework. The leaner the better. You see, we, as CakePHP users, must defend it against creeping featuritis... I do enjoy these powerful tools CakePHP offer... However, I DO NEED a lean framework. The tradeoff "more features mean less performance" should be frown upon and avoided wherever is possible. @RobertP Although I understand your choice, I deem to be one of the worst attitudes towards CakePHP community. I mean, if you know a patch created a performance problem, and you DO know how to solve it better or more elegantly... please, patch it and have it sent to the development team. I am sure they will check out and listen to you. I did it with SSN validation check, and my patched was accepted.
