This is actually untrue.

FarCry is a very high performance solution that runs on some very
large installations.  The vast majority of Daemon clients are large
companies or institutions that require enterprise level results.  For
example, FarCry 4.0.x drives the mayoclinic.com which manages almost 2
million page impressions daily.

On slower systems you will encounter the following bottlenecks:
 - compilation; if you run the app for the first time there are a lot
of classes that need to be compiled
 - application initialisation; when you re-start the application it
will build and cache all its metadata in memory -- this is very
resource intensive
 - memory footprint; by default FarCry caches whatever it can in
memory (memory is cheap -- normally) -- if your CF memory allocation
is breached or you start pushing physical memory for your environment
you will see a massive drop in performance.  You can modify the
caching behaviour to suit your environment.

The fact that FarCry is designed to take advantage of environments
with larger memory resources is a specific design feature for high
volume deployments.

Your reference to frameworks like Transfer and ColdSpring is not
relevant.  Neither or these code bases ships with a sample solution
anywhere near the size or complexity of FarCry CMS.  They are just
shells in which you would build a solution.  If they did you would
likely see similar issues with your PIII/512RAM.
