Matthew Weier O'Phinney is working on a performance guide as an appendix to our manual. It covers a lot of practices that should improve the performance of your ZF app. In addition, the 1.7 release contains several performance enhancements in the MVC components and elsewhere. An important fact to note, however, is that frameworks always add some execution overhead to an application. This overhead becomes more pronounced the simpler the app is, which is why I have to sigh every time I see a performance benchmark on 'hello world' applications. You should always test performance on the kinds of applications you intend to write with ZF. This 'framework performance hit' can even be questioned, since most frameworks provide tools and best practices to improve the performance of your own app. Zend_Cache is a great example. You can use this component to cache your application data, and for complex applications these sorts of app level performance enhancements usually have a much greater impact on overall performance. I think it is fair to say that frameworks make it much easier to optimize complex applications.
