I love cake, but man, we ain't been doin' so well in them benchmarks. Cake 1.3 weights in 3x slower than Zend 1.10, and 2x slower than Symfony 1.4 I can somewhat understand why we are 7x slower than CI 1.7 and Kohana 3.0, as they are less full featured, so are expected to be faster (7x faster is a bit harder to understand, though). I'm a cake devotee because it's the best to develop with, the community is my favorite, and it certainly meets all the scalability needs I'll ever hope to have. So, practically, I could care less what the numbers are. But intellectually - what can explain those numbers from a relative standpoint? Symfony and Zend are pretty full featured frameworks, in some ways more full featured than cake, yet their critical path execution limit is 2-3 times faster. Is it just a trick? Do they like optimize just one part of their framework to make the "hello world" test run faster? Why are we 2-3 times slower? -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
