Hi Jeremy, just emailed you the benchmark code, please review and post back your valuable thoughts.

It would be interesting to see the source code of these benchmarks, and how you did the database code. That memory number seems awfully high.

Hi Kee,
Thanks for your comment, we haven’t tried doophp before, however we strongly believe the real world performance of doophp would not out perform the others by that much. As you may notice in our test, pure php mysql connection is only 40% faster than the Yii Framework. Unless cache mechanism is involved, we would be amazed to find any database abstraction would actually be faster than pure php mysql connection.
It may be 5 or more times faster in producing the ‘Hello World’ page, which only hit the frameworks view/action controller. We believe you need to take other components into consideration while doing a real test-case. In most the real world projects caching would be the final determinate factor of ‘performance’ (at a users point of view), that really matters most. In other words, if you know how to tweak caching on all database, page, assets, media levels, any framework should really be the same, in terms of serving pages (cached).
Therefore, what really matters to a framework would not so much in performance, but really lies on the feature set and support.
Cheers!

Hi Gerd,
Thanks for your comment, to my knowledge of Symfony (pre 1.0) it would be lot slower than Yii for sure in terms of output performance. However to evaluate a framework you may want to consider other aspects as well, ie. available tool sets, community activity/support, speed of delivery, deployment, code maintenance, etc. I’d recommend you to try out Yii framework, to see the differences yourself. I believe Yii would certainly please you in quite few things.

It would be interesting to also test the Symfony framework http://www.symfony-project.org. I have been using it for a while now but am curious about Yii, which claims much higher performance.

Thanks Wei, it would be interesting to know the local developer and possibly have a chat with.
