Some of you may be following FrOSCon (http://froscon.org/), where Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP's "BDFL", gave a keynote(!) today on (optimizing) PHP performance and how frameworks compare (http://programm.froscon.org/2008/events/277.en.html )
Agavi also had its own slide (http://talks.php.net/show/froscon08/28) and, initially, the numbers were quite bad, causing the crowd to wow at the utterly devastating number of 8.24 transactions per second (compared to, say, symfony, which achieves 100.63). Fellow Agavi user Jordi Boggiano quickly pointed out to him that the demo application was running in development mode (thanks mate!), but it wasn't until after the talk that Rasmus saw the message. He was, however, quick to announce his mistake (http://twitter.com/rasmus/statuses/897260706 ) and updated the slides accordingly. The new number, 126.91 transations per second, is much more like it, and underlines Agavi's supreme relation between performance and feature completeness. I just figured I'd let you all know so you can continue to sleep well, knowing that your framework of choice has no difficulties living up to your expectations and remains highly competitive in comparison with rivalling projects. I've written about this, too (http://blog.wombert.de/post/47205340/for-the-froscon-folks-following-me-the-agavi ), so feel free to reblog it, but in any case, now that you know what happened, when someone now tells you Agavi was slow, you can correct them :) Hope your week gets off to a good start tomorrow, folks. Stay strong! Cheers, David _______________________________________________ Agavi Dev Mailing List [email protected] http://lists.agavi.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
