Dennis, The results you got are not really applicable to most people running ZF in production. I don't know your full configuration but it looks like you use the regular Windows multi-threaded PHP package on Apache for Windows + run it without an accelerator like Zend Platform. This boils down to the worst setup you can have to run production PHP :) Windows is also especially slow on file system access so you really need an accelerator.
I suggest to redo the benchmarks either with Zend Core + Zend Platform (may need to do a bit of tweaking also) or to do it with PHP on Linux with a byte-code cache. There's no chance you'll even be close to the ridiculously slow performance you are getting now and you may even find that your optimizations (with the right config) will give you much less bang for the buck.
