I would agree to some extent, however, I think most people would agree that
applying a methodology or some sort of code structure to any app no matter
the language is going to add a small amount of overhead.
The point is, there are trade-offs in all development languages. We trade
-off a few milliseconds of processing time for cutting our development time
in half!!
I would be very interested in seeing the exact differences between the two.
And if the PHP guys start flaming, just ask them how long it takes them to
code a database query and output the results in a table.
Their answer would probably be:
<? #$ t00 $value %l0ng ?> he he

Look, we all agree that FB is a great methodology, or we wouldn't be here
and we wouldn't be supporting it.
So, you ask a good question: Why benchmark?
Wouldn't you like to have some scientific proof, some statistics to give to
people who nay-say FB? Also, wouldn't you like to be able to pinpoint which
parts of the FB methodology are faster and which may add a little time?
Maybe this way we can make the whole thing more efficient. We can continue
to refine the methodology.
The point of this is not to say "Plain CF is better" or "FB is better." The
point is to prove that one does not _lose_ significantly in processing speed
when converting to Fusebox. And if there are speed bottlenecks in the
process, let's pinpoint them and come up with solutions.
How many times have you heard someone say "FB has too much overhead!" Well,
let's prove them wrong. But let's make sure these tests are done well, and
look at this whole thing scientifically. I think the whole community will
benefit.
