The first thing I noticed was that the content length of the document served by catalyst was longer than that served by rails. He doesn't seem to have tried very hard to test "apples for apples" (his words) Also see the very good comment by "JayK" as to why it's not a very good real-world test at all. http://letsgetdugg.com/view/Catalyst_vs_Rails_vs_Django_Cook_off I'm not saying Catalyst's performance couldn't be improved, or that it's not slower than Rails - just that a bad benchmark is worthless.
I agree with all your points Carl. I have not been present in teh IRC for a few days to see any discussions related to this thread. I'm sure some optimizations were discussed and some things will be implemented because of it. So with the precondition that I haven't kept up with the state of affairs I'd like to thank victori for spending his time and effort to create _something_. It's more than his naysayers have to done to show us how fast Catalyst is. I respectfully suggest that those who criticize his work should use their energies to /improve/ his test rather than merely dismissing it as worthless. Using his code as a base, couldn't one create a test that was more fair? Then someone would have a test that shows results that are more 'real' and give potential users more information with which to make a decision. Catalyst doesn't have to be the fastest in such a test. That's probably never been the One True Goal of the core devs. But providing people with information as to why Catalyst is good (or bad) should be high on the list. -- Cory 'G' Watson http://www.onemogin.com _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
