It's good to hear somebody who views CakePHP in the same practical light as myself. I can develop more efficient applications in a much faster timescale than expected of me in my new job, if my first appraisal is a good one.. A toast to cake and donation to cakephp :)

Its how any sensible developer should think about it. The only benchmark I'd ever be interested in seeing would be one where 2 developers of comparable skill showed down the building of a fully featured blog in competing frameworks.

This isn't to say CakePHP is perfect, obviously improvements in the performance department are welcomed. But take a guess at how many hours the framework has already saved you on authoring just plain CRUD boilerplate code in the last 12 months? No really, go do it... multiply by your hourly rate... thats profit, or time with your family
