Hi Mike, Thanks for your quick reply. I'm using Apache 2.2.4 and I just tried out your MS Windows conjecture by trying:
<?php echo "Windows or Zend Framework?"; echo "time=" . xdebug_time_index(); ?> which generally returns the page in .004 sec (4 ms) with a few spikes that take longer. So it seems that my PHP stack on Windows is plenty fast and is not the problem. ZF on zend.com is sufficiently fast for me, but then again the pages I go to are static so it's mostly cached and not giving me the real server-generated page speed. Thanks for the performance numbers on Linux. I'd be quite happy with 0.11 sec for a simple ZF Controller page without db calls. Instead, I'm getting 0.73 sec after removing the db connection overhead and 0.55 sec of that is coming from those 3 calls/stages listed in my post. I'm wondering if there were any performance benchmarks for the ZF as it was developed, and if so I wonder how my numbers compare. I'm also wondering if others using ZF are getting similar response times for their websites. Given these results, unless there is a way to speed up my infrastructure (which is dominated by ZF code), I need to set my expectations for at best 2-ish second response time for dynamic pages and for AJAX responses. This is an important design parameter to know about when architecting a website. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ZF-performance-advice-tf4610974s16154.html#a13169118 Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
