(1) The developers of Symfony specifically discourage running it

over deployment is often a reality, an accelerator is not always a

Surely, if you're getting enough hits to really need an accelerator
then
you should be running on your own server(s) where you *do* have
control
over whether an accelerator is used or not?
I don't disagree, but that's not the point. The point is that they
basically require an accelerator for running Symfony applications,
period; they don't qualify that statement by traffic levels or any
other considerations. This, to me, seems like a tacit acknowledgment
of inefficiency, and they seem to be okay with that.
This conclusion also (ostensibly) reflected in the benchmarks I
linked to previously which, you'll note, are based on Symfony 1.0.
I'm not saying that performance is the end-all-be-all of web
frameworks (I, for one, consider my own brain processor cycles more
valuable than those of my server), but it's certainly a priority,
though apparently less so for some than others.
