Endijs, Benchmarking a plain-php "hello world" file against the same stuff implemented in ZF just doesn't make any sense. If you only want to display "hello world", you don't need ZF. If you want to benchmark, you always have to benchmark your use-case against a real-world application that does roughly the same thing. You want to implement a bulletin board in ZF? Benchmark a ZF prototype against vBulletin or phpBB. You want to implement a CMS? Benchmark ZF against Joomla!, Typo3 or if you must, Wordpress.
The reason for this is that a simple "hello world" file does not require any routing, or decisions about which action to dispatch, or a plugin system, etc. Again, use the right tools for the job: If you only want your application to display "hello world", don't use ZF. </rant> About your question: I haven't thoroughly benchmarked the most recent ZF version. The performance of ZF is very dependent on quite a few factors, ranging from your choice of server (a dedicated server is a must!), your caching solution (cache as much as possible, while bypassing as much of the MVC process as possible!), and your use of an opcode cache such as APC (Protip: The first thing a performance-focused PHP-developer should do is install one). If thse factors are well covered, I'd say 200 rps shouldn't be much of a problem.
