Lol, not quite, I compared your test to testing the newest model of a
Ferrari against the outgoing model but using the criteria that we
would use to test the Toyota.  Made sense to me :)

But you cannot assess the weight of a framework if the test doesn't t
stress the majority of that framework.

I would be very interested to look at similar benchmarking on a large
app.  Hopefully I will be in a position to do this later in the year
as I am currently developing a multi-subdomain sector dedicated portal
which should get a lot of traffic in Cake 1.2.6 and once I have the
money to hire a development team I will be asking them to port the
site to 1.3 and compare the two.

I don't know of a better way as I'm yet to develop or run a site where
it's performance has been called into question.  I can tell you that a
client of mine who moved from a large bespoke CMS I coded (before I
started using Cake) to Drupal has had a nightmare ever since.

But the two systems were never comparable and I very much doubt the
client will pay me to replicate his existing site with Cake and
compare the performance of the two (I'd bet a lot of money on Cake
performing better) but even if I could do this how would I make the
test a fair comparison?

For now myself and all my clients are very happy with cake 1.2.x
performance and from your test it seems 1.3 is better so hoorah!
