I have been using Symfony pretty much full time for 7 months and don`t recall a time when the site was done at all. > > What is the largest known site to use symphony?

As for how many users it can handle that really comes down to how the users are handled. However I can`t see that any limitations would apply to a project as long as it is written and designed well. > > > I’ve never been one for using frameworks due to all the overhead, and > already I’m noticing there are *excessive* SQL queries.

I’m sure some of this can be > fixed with refactoring, or direct SQL, but this is also another problem Writing intelligent code, using caching solves these issues. Generally all large sites we do we publish statically, using symfony to generate the site and manage the publishing to the nodes. > I’ve experienced with Ruby on Rails (and I assume all frameworks have > this symptom).

But I digress… I look We have not noticed either complexity or speed issues with symfony - the only problem can be with badly written code - but that applies to any framework or using none at all. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
