that Mach-ii initially created tons of whitespace and was very problematic
until the most recent release. It still creates a lot of whitespace since
it supports Blue Dragon and BD has an incompatible implementation of the
output attribute on cffunction.

Who's at 1.2mbps? That's certainly not average. Even if you have a line
that's that fast connection to most sites is slower due to many issues. And
a few kb might not be so much of a concern, but I have seen sites with a mb
of whitespace in them (although I would expect this is not from a framework
but rather poorly written application code).
Other areas for the comparison:
BD support
Performance (needs to be basically same app implemented in all frameworks so
you're really only comparing frameworks)
Also, I heard that mach-ii is being ported to both PHP and Java. We're also
going to look at it for possible use in .NET apps, although that's very
speculative at this point.
Best regards,
