Hello, I wanted to post some observations on my usage of ZF, fairly random:

Grid
I had to deploy a ZF based site on an MT Grid package. The performance was
very sporadic - page serves anything from 8s - 25s on a bad day. Grid is a
terrible hosting environment, so I'm not for a second saying the issue is
with ZF, but I believe due to the architecture of that env - it's a 'cloud'
of computers doing the processing and requesting files/dbs from somewhere
else - all the require()s in ZF had the effect of slowing things down (more
than usual). So eventually the package was upgraded (at cost and
inconvenience) to MT Dedicated Virtual and since then no problems, and can
use APC too. So as it stands, I don't believe ZF (and probably any other
framework) can be used reliably on MT Grid hosting. And I was fobbed off
with the usual "It's your HTML" responses from support staff.

Mac Bootcamp
I use a Mac to work on, I have Bootcamp installed to run WinXP too. I have
all of my files on the Mac HTFS+ partition, and use MacDrive software to
access them from WinXP. I believe the HD format translation MacDrive uses is
quite slow, meaning the disc reading is slow. This had the effect of when
testing a ZF based site on localhost, it taking ~5s to serve a page! Once
again probably due to all the require()s.

In both cases the problem lies not with ZF so much, but it does highlight
how much file access is going on. None of this has put me off using ZF
though :-)
